The Republicans have only themselves to blame for this one. Party unity, normally a strong point for them, has utterly failed, with the various personages looking after their own interests in the post Presidential season in their own districts instead of stopping to think how it would reflect upon the known soon-to-be election in Georgia, and the party's control as a whole.

The senior GA election official is saying something of that nature this evening.

"When you tell people 'your vote doesn't count and it has been stolen' and people start to believe that and then you go to the two senators and tell them to ask secretary of state to resign, and trigger a civil war inside the Republican Party, when we need Republicans to unite,"

I also like
"Mr. President, you've already lost the state of Georgia," he said. "The thing now is, no matter what you say, you can't undermine the people of Georgia's integrity to know their voting system works and their vote is going to count at the end of the day, one way or the other how this election comes out."

That said, it's absolutely neck and neck. Both Republicans are less than a percent ahead of their rivals.

More complicated than that.

Trump cost the GOP bigly tonight, but its bull**** to blame him entirely.

Mc Connell saying no the stimulus cheques was political suicide while the GOP attack adds on the 2 Dems were rubbish.

They attacked Warnock and the black church and black rural vote is huge tonight which is not a surprise.

Electing an abysmal candidate like Loeffer to that seat was a terrible call as she has no base whatsoever.

The Economist have called it, 2 X Dems

DeKalb playing chill, like Nevada.
Am I right in saying if DeKalb swings to both Dem candidates that it then gives both Dems the overall win?

Tell me how

Donald still not able to grasp that if there are more people living in a county, it will take longer to count their votes and when their votes are added to the mix they could well have a significant impact.

DeKalb has about 200,000 votes yet to be counted. 171k are early votes, and 30k from today. Dems (Ossoff is the one I checked) got 87% of votes counted so far.

Vote dump will only be 130k and not 170k as originally thought.

Perdue is just about unassailable.

Seems there's 130k left to count and not in total. The CNN guy at the centre misspoke to John King. We're back in the game.

Apparently only 130k votes available in DeKalb?

Not enough.

Numbers are flying down now.

If it's 130k it's over.

If it's 170k dems win.

WoollyRedHat

Dispute on 130k/170k figure

171k left in DeKalb according to Gabriel Sterling.

Here comes the conspiracies if so.

Apparently all counties published early voting counts before today. Conspiracy debate over if so.

This misreporting is going to be like a flame to a moth. The whole thing hangs on this.

Sterling said there were 171k early votes awaiting counting, PLUS 30k from today, according to Pamela Brown of CNN earlier.

Trump may have lost the gop the senate.

He is a cancer on everything he touches.

BonnieSituation

Perdue 2100 votes ahead

Warnock 32000 votes ahead

94% counted in DeKalb county

94% counted statewide

rockatansky

So is that looking like 1 seat each?

Kermit.de.frog

Perdue 7,000 ahead?

Kermit.de.frog

Perdue 20,000 ahead so it looks like gop might hold the senate.

Down to 3700 now.

Most votes left are gonna be heavily swinging Dem.

Lots of counting yet to be done. Eg. DeKalb has another 16k+ votes to be counted. They ought to break almost net 10k+ for Ossoff..

Kermit.de.frog

Be insane if the dems took the two seats in Georgia! Trump a complete disaster for the republicans.

BonnieSituation

Perdue's lead is down to 456! 4-5-6!

Warnock has it. Over 34000 ahead now.

The split voting Warnock-Perdue voters really have to think about what they were at!

TomOnBoard

Right now, Perdue is only 384 ahead of Ossoff!!!

I wouldn't have expected it, but then it should not be a surprise. Partisan politics, in theory, should guarantee a victory, but there is always a middle swing vote and Trump has been driving a Humvee into that minefield.

Most of the outstanding votes are in Dem-leaning counties. Then post-in votes postmarked by election day can be counted if received by ?Friday?

So, Ossoff/Perdue is all to play for still, but leaning Dem IMHO.
