He was in GA trying to get this win, and hes getting handed another L I think its clear that there's several things based on the last 4 years: - A lot of people in rural areas turn out like mad for Trump and Trump alone. They did so in 2016 and 2020, they didn't really do so in 2018. They are incredibly soft in rural areas in this election, despite Trump trying to juice up the vote. - This fucked up a lot of polling in 2016 and 2020 because the same people are non-responders. The only place where this wasn't wrong was in Iowa where Ann Selzer seems to be a respected enough pollster than they actually respond to her. - Since Biden has shown that Georgia isn't actually that red but disenfranchised to hell and back, there's been a surge of turnout in urban hubs for Ossoff and Warnock. It seems more and more that Trump is basically Jesus Christ to a lot of rural voters. He's less so an actual person but a set of ideas and a weapon to beat down on the left. If he isn't in a position of power to own the Republicans or Democrats, they don't seem to interested in what he wants. | ||

It looks like Ossoff win either way but if the 99% counted from DDHQ is correct it would stay within recount margin. | ||

It looks like Ossoff win either way but if the 99% counted from DDHQ is correct it would stay within recount margin. Ossoff seems to be able to get a decent enough lead that a recount isn't going to do much. Recounting is a formality but doesn't really change results unless they're incredibly close like Florida 2000. | ||

If you guys have Ossoff vs Perdue within recount margin this whole thing is going to continue with shitty arguments that noone wants to hear about anymore. What I'm saying is "let us be done with it" more than anything else | ||

The Ossoff flip is only a matter of time at this point since almost all remaining votes are straight D votes. | ||

They're no New York, that's for sure. On January 06 2021 13:47 Toadesstern wrote: true, but being outside of recount margin would shut people up.

What I'm saying is "let us be done with it" more than anything else If November 2020 taught us anything it's that the margin is irrelevant to the people in the GOP currently making the most noise. They insist they won both Wisconsin and Michigan for pete's sake. | ||

Done a hell of a lot better than certain states on election day back in November. The Ossoff flip is only a matter of time at this point since almost all remaining votes are straight D votes. Look, we tried, but we had a massive amount of mail in votes the the Republican state congress wouldn't change the laws - all of them couldn't be counted until election day. -.- | ||

I'm not sure how much it could have affected. Maybe if waaaaay back in November he'd put something through. But there is a lot of blame to go around the GOP deck on this one. | ||

I don't think the free money checks flipped anywhere near as many votes as the overall waffling on stimulus and the tasteless voter fraud accusations. So yes, I'd expect things to be the same. | ||

They have a litany of gross candidates like Ted Cruz to field though, I actually don't find them lacking in people to throw up for presidential elections compared to Democrats. I don't know if Cruz is likable enough, but I'm actually really worried about someone like Tucker Carlson. I don't know if Carlson wants to run, but he's backed by Fox, has done a great job of appealing to both Trump supporters and establishment conservatives, and he's actually a really good debater irl. | ||

Thoughts? It seems that both of these special elections are really close. I doubt it had much impact. It’s the kind of amusing ironic clickbait story that leftists make up about rightists to laugh at them. | ||
