American conservatives, European far left, strong far right, anti Corona measures community, Nazi, right leaning folks, Christians are all specific groups which people would identify themselves as such. People of French descent, not so much. A French person would not describe themselves as a person of French descent, much like you wouldn't describe yourself as a person of norwegian descent. Who knows, maybe people of French descent, whatever that supposed to be meant, have a greater propensity in Germany to ignore coronvirus regulations. No, i was just picking a nationality as an example. Same with chistianity. I am not aware of any other group then Querdenker and AfD that is arguing so strongly against the corona measures in germany and endanger others by not following the rules. But if there were any, i would not see why we should not try to identify and watch them, no matter if they are ethnic, religious or other minorities. Being a minority does not protect from the law. and being far-right is especially not protecting anyone from it. | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/0TmoQUA.png) As usual, we will be analyzing the before and present versions of the votes because I think those will be the best indicator of how the results will be predicted in the future. Remember that Dems barely eeked out wins in the general, so they'll want to keep hold of that line. Thus far though, Republicans look like they've gained a bit in their tiny districts, but will that be enough. Reports have said that the Democrat voting this time is weaker, with less younger voters. That being said, mail-in might be even stronger this time so that doesn't give us a clear picture as the first few counties come in. | ||

I think "both Democrats win" is the most likely result today. That's what the latest polls show, and the momentum is not fantastic for Republicans based on what the last two months have looked like. | ||

Very good signs for Dems. Most of the flips so far have been R->D. We'll just have to see if the rest of the counties are looking like that or if they're outliers. Dooly County and Washington County are both trending the same way. Flipped from when? Presidential election? If so, that is pretty wild. | ||

Still some more results to come in but if these numbers stick, I'm very confident in a double Dem win tonight. | ||

We just got about 96,000 absentee votes in Fulton County (Atlanta), which Ossoff won 80 percent to 20 percent and Warnock won 81 percent to 19 percent. In November, Biden won Fulton County absentees 79 percent to 21 percent, so tonight’s numbers imply another very close race. And we also just got about 96,000 absentee votes in Gwinnett County (the Atlanta suburbs). Ossoff won this batch 70 percent to 30 percent, and Warnock won them 71 percent to 29 percent. Biden won Gwinnett absentee ballots just 66 percent to 33 percent, so that’s a pretty good sign for Democrats. Atlanta so far is holding to November's trend, and Warnock is running an inch ahead of Ossoff. | ||

Given the national significance of this specific race, I would expect some very high turnout relative to precedent. | ||
