Some of those 11 gop are dem plants to split the vote. Much like Evan Mcmullin who’s a dem but joined the race in the gop side to split the gop vote
The objective was to stop Ossoff from receiving 50% of the vote forcing a runoff. The Dems ran 5 candidates plus there was an independent. The more candidates, the harder it is to get 50% of the vote. Trump found that out in the primary.
Four Reps got most of the non-Ossoff vote. Turnout was higher than expected. There will be a runoff.
Yeah, just watch for a “principled, courageous” libertarian to demand ti be balloted for the runoff and some jackass jusge to allow her.
