But the same day vote is still heavily favored to Dems in Atlanta area which is where the majority of votes are left. Ya I ment that, guess I worded it wrong. Like a lot of the vote that is in should favor Republicans and a lot of this later vote should favor dems | ||

Maybe if they can chain a ton of good shit together they might change that though, god knows I'd love to see stimulus checks, and important legislation for police brutality, student loan forgiveness etc. | ||

They are at the very least even and I would say slightly favorable. It is also a mid term though and the party in power normally does not do as well. | ||

Yeah the midterm-power shift alongside the loss of seats during this presidential cycle of all presidential cycles is why Im thinking the Democrats will lose the House. Possibly to more Qanon nutjobs. | ||

Dave Wasserman has called it for Warnock. I'm just about ready to call it. Just Ossoff left. | ||

Also, Trump's team lol : https://twitter.com/AsteadWesley/status/1346631770964439040 Gotta keep that grift coming! Looks like Warnock is definitely going to beat Biden's margin and Ossoff (likely) will as well. But it doesn't seem like it will be on the back of stupid self-suppression by the GOP, given their overall turnout, but more based on increased turnout in Biden strongholds. | ||

Being able to tell McConnell to fuck off in order to get some much needed financial relief is some real material motivation imo. Can't believe that slipped my mind. A $2000 cheque is a strong motivator, especially now. Perdue and Loeffler were wishy-washy on the topic, while Warnock and Ossoff were pretty firm on it early on. | ||

TL DECISION DESK UPDATE: We are confident with our projection that Raphael Warnock (D) will win his special election and triumph over Loeffler. Loeffler currently leads by 1 point but Warnock has gained in the majority of counties compared to the November results. Warnock also has a ton of Atlanta vote left that will surely put him over the top. | ||

As a bonus, keep in mind that the vote counting strategies logistically count fastest early in the night. Because each center counts at a fixed rate, and each center has a fixed number of votes, you see the pace slow the more places finish completing their supply and go home. This is also part of why R strongholds, which typically have lower population, seem to count "more quickly." (purely discussing in-person votes here, of course; pre-counting early votes or not has its own quirks) | ||

Seeing the ghoulish likes of Perdue and the soulless automaton of Loeffler lose does my heart good even if I don't find Ossoff to be particularly thrilling. A lot to expect out of a Democrat controlled House, Senate, and Presidency though, I better see some great stuff! Im personally hoping for stimulus checks and PR and DC statehood! | ||
