Whatever it takes to get that racist out of office. Kick 'em out, one by one.

Rangers seemed to have stepped in here. Final straw for them was likely a tweet where he wrote "What happened to "COVID-19" the last 48 hours".

NYT says 50.0% but they're rounding up to 1 decimal. It's actually 49.98% with their numbers. Considering the circumstances here, they should really be displaying 2 decimal points.

Last update with 97% of the ballots in. Unless Trump really blows things apart if/when he loses I don't view that race all that favourably for the Democrats. The Libertarian votes would lean more Republican than Democrat and the Dems usually suck at mid-season election turnout.
L K said:
Really depends on what the turnout would be I guess. Both Perdue and Loeffler don't seem particularly popular so despite their good numbers here you gotta think they're vulnerable. If their supporters mostly showed up to vote because Trump was also on the ballot they might not be as motivated come January.

Yeah. Neither party is especially good at getting voters out for mid-cycle elections. Republicans just tend to be less bad than the Democrats. That being said, Democratic voters in GA have been coming out in bigger numbers than we've seen...ever. The last time a Democrat came anywhere near 50% in a presidential election was Jimmy Carter in 1980. If they can keep up that enthusiasm, and if the Republicans are still sulking in January (which is quite possible), they could take both. It's unlikely, but not impossible.
Just put Stacey Abrams on TV in Georgia every day until January.

Never forget that on top of all the racist and other bad stuff Trump is just a genuinely, genuinely dumb man.
