9% reporting, Ossoff is at 57.82%.

Not a good look

 

[mcfrank]

Surely that's already looking too close for him to win majority....

Flashbacks of the election results party at my school, lol.

9% of precincts NOT 9% of the VOTE. Come on guys, pay attention. Around 40% of the vote total is in.

Dat 2016 condescension. If anything you're consistent, which I appreciate. BTW I DO know that Perez has one. I bet you didn't watch the Perez/Bernie Unity stream last night, huh.

Both Perez and Ellison ran on it. So yes, unless he wants to piss off 100% of the people who voted for either him or Ellison, yes, he'll have a plan to get the 50-state strategy in place.

And I am not the target audience for that stream.

 

[Not]

If Ossoff doesn't win, I will be very disappointed. I will probably contact various maritime antique brokers and collectors of vintage naval equipment to procure a surviving pirate canon salvaged from the Caribbean sea floor. I will painstakingly restore the barrel, spend a fortune recreating its original mounting, and learn how to properly load and fire the device in a way that preserves the gun.

I will then load it with gunpowder, stamp it down with the prod, light the fuse, and stick my stupid head inside. So long, head.

As long as you don't die or anything

 

[RPGCrazied]

Another thing that sucks if he doesn't win tonight, we get to hear Trump gloat about this and say he saved a seat. Ugh.

Shoot me now.

 

[Pryce]

I think he settles in around 48% or so.

 

[Boke1879]

Yall do know him winning outright was always going to be a shot to the wind. Like it's possible. but isn't this a R district?

 

[Alex_Mexico]

It is a jungle. 17 people running, top two go to the Showcase Showdown if no majority.

So if he gets over 50% he wins the district? What if the top two are Republicans? Are there other Dems running too?

 

[Chumly]

Down to 56.7.... this is going to be close

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

24% of Cobb is in, only 14% of dekalb. Fret not.


Edit- it would update exactly as I post this.

 

[Herr Schwarz]

It can still bounce the other way, surely.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Yall do know him winning outright was always going to be a shot to the wind. Like it's possible. but isn't this a R district?

Yup, not even Hillary won this district.

 

[JohnsonUT]

20% reporting

lol

We're in the darkest timeline, you know it won't.

 

[kirblar]

Step away from the results and do anything else for a while.

Your brain will thank you.

 

[numble]

20% precincts, 56.70%.

 

[mcfrank]

Nate_Cohn: Based exclusively on the 41 ~completed precincts:
I'd guess we're on track for 190k, Ossoff at 48. A real MoE on both.

 

[Chumly]

So if he gets over 50% he wins the district? What if the top two are Republicans? Are there other Dems running too?

Yes. If he gets 49% he has to run in another election against they next top vote getter (would be a republican)

 

[rjinaz]

In the end, the numbers are still promising despite the potential loss and the second battle will happen in June.
Still sucks to get so close you can taste it and not be able to.

 

[Boke1879]

Another thing that sucks if he doesn't win tonight, we get to hear Trump gloat about this and say he saved a seat. Ugh.

Shoot me now.

He didn't save shit. It just goes to an election.

GOP shouldn't be playing defense. We closed margins in that election that was like 3 weeks ago, and this is another fight.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

Yeah I think he only gets 45.

 

[~Kinggi~]

thankfully i stopped giving a fuck so im not getting those hardcore election night flashbacks where i started screaming and couldnt stop

 

[Alex_Mexico]

20% reporting

CNN has it at 38% counted and Oss at 60%?

 

[RPGCrazied]

CNN says he is still at 60% with 38% of the vote in.

 

[Slime]

It can still bounce the other way, surely.

That's always my hope, but it feels like the Dem never holds or makes any gains in these things.

I have post-2016 pessimism syndrome. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[Not]

Cool, now I'll have to read more misspelled tweets from a man who, despite everything, keeps winning

I'll never again believe the US is a meritocracy. Just a reward system for harnessing hatred

 

[jack_package_200]

CNN says he is still at 60% with 38% of the vote in.

Christ this is nerve-racking

 

[RPGCrazied]

At least he is failing legislatively. Hasn't been able to do shit.

 

[JohnsonUT]

IF (big if) he loses, it is definitely coming down to the 1% that voted for non-republicans. It will break in such a way that had they not voted at all, Ossoff would have won.

 

[Chumly]

CNN says he is still at 60% with 38% of the vote in.

CNN is behind. Check the Georgia Secretary of State site or New York Times

 

[CrocMother]

Does anyone else have election PTSD (not literally) from November?

This and the Kansas one have got me feeling really anxious, irrationally so.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Christ this is nerve-racking

My poor heart. Fuck. I'm going to watch YT videos and eat ice cream. Feels like we lost already.

 

[BitStyle]

Well for sure it isn't a meritocracy, but I wouldn't give up entirely yet. The vote hasn't come in completely yet

no minority believed this sack of shit in the first place.

For real

[Herr Schwarz]

It ain't over yet is it?! Says he's at 56% with 20% reporting (41 of 210 precincts)

Hold the line

 

[sc0la]

Yup, not even Hillary won this district.

Well if she couldnt do it clearly nobody can!

 

[rjinaz]

We're looking at 48-51 in all likeliness. Well at least it was a damn good fight I guess.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

CNN says 57.8% with 45% in

 

[Not]

no minority believed this sack of shit in the first place.

Well, I never actually believed it entirely, just held out hope that Trump would get owned by the disgruntled majority sooner than later for fucking up.

I'll probably still be waiting.

 

[siganddaxter]

CNN has it at

57.8 % ossoff at 45% reporting

 

[jack_package_200]

My poor heart. Fuck. I'm going to watch YT videos and eat ice cream. Feels like we lost already.

Guess its time for me to give that Pokemon Crystal Nuzlocke a try

 

[Fenderputty]

I'm playing with my child who's barely a year and gleefully oblivious to the world of politics. Kinda refreshing

 

[wandering]

NYT is more accurate

56.7% @ 20% reporting

 

[KHarvey16]

Like 90% of the benefit gained with a win is gained just making it close. It's a good day either way.

 

[Bay Maximus]

Where you guys getting updated results? I'm so glad the Bulls game is on to help me keep my mind off this but it's halftime now D:

 

[Officerrob]

People need some perspective, Romney beat Obama in this district by over 20%

 

[sazzy]

CNN has it at

57.8 % ossoff at 45% reporting

NYT is more accurate

56.7% @ 20% reporting

I chuckled

 

[Herr Schwarz]

Yeah but he's got star wars going for him man that's gonna count for something, that's like endearing "hurrr he's just like me" kinda shit.

Shrunk down to 55% now though. Hold the line!
