Someone tell me what to feel!!!

Probably disappointment?

Ossof was supposed to build a nice lead from early voting... Certainly not be behind.

 

[Blader]

Isn't the NJ Governor race a special election? I thought Christie was leaving before his actual term?

Christie is serving out his full term in complete disgrace.

No early voting has been reported yet.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Mail-in ballots are being counted later right?

Deez nuts?

Spoiler

Sorry, couldn't resist

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

They didn't count DeKalb yet, did they?

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Absolutely true as a simple matter of logic and statistics and don't let any partisan cheerleader tell you differently. No federal election has ever been decided by one vote.

Elections are not decided by one vote.

They're decided by people who show up.

 

[Sobriquet]

I just want a huge upset. In a Republican stronghold. I hate Trump, and this would send a message we are coming.

When is the next one, what state?

Today. South Carolina.

 

[Maxim726X]

No early voting has been reported yet.

Not according to CNN.

Their values included early voting, evidently.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Maybe they are counting Cobb first?

 

[br3wnor]

No early voting has been reported yet.

Fulton county's was. 51% Handel

 

[Blader]

They didn't count DeKalb yet, did they?

The NYT model is just showing results for Fulton so far.

 

[Gutek]

No early voting has been reported yet.

CNN is saying otherwise

 

[Sobriquet]

They didn't count DeKalb yet, did they?

Less than 1% of Fulton so far.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Mail-in ballots are being counted later right?

Yes

They didn't count DeKalb yet, did they?

No

Christie is serving out his full term in complete disgrace.

My bad then, I thought he was leaving early for some reason

No early voting has been reported yet.

They are reporting it now on MSNBC Hardball. All from Fulton, Ossoff 48, Handel 51 basically.

 

[Dude Abides]

Your logic seems to skip the part where if everybody thought that way, no one would vote.

So what? You voting has no effect on whether others do so the categorical imperative doesn't matter.

Anyway, this is a tangent so I won't further derail. Hope Ossoff wins.

All of the analysis you've seen of the early vote lumps in person EV/Mail together! So the initial IPEV vote will not be as D as some expect

 

[giga]

All that's been counted is Fulton's in-person early vote guys. Fulton leans R, so that's no surprise, but we still have mail in early votes and election day votes.

Hmm. I'll step away from the ledge... For now.

Rodney Stooksbury literally is a person who doesn't exist. I mean literally literally.

Just looked this up. Holy shit!

The guy covering it for buzzfeed is saying this was day-of voting.

 

[Capella]

CNN early voting is the same one that's on Nytimes Upshot. It's less than 1% of precincts and doesn't include mail in ballots yet.

OMG SO WE LOST

I wouldn’t have expected Handel to be ahead in the Fulton County in-person early vote, but she is. We won’t have a firm idea of how things are going until we get results from whole precincts, so still a long way to go.

HARRY ENTEN 7:39 PM
Fulton County just dumped a whole bunch of early votes in Georgia. Handel is up by 3 there. We’ll have to see how the election day vote goes in Fulton (plus other counties), but that is a good result for Handel knowing nothing else.

Unless you're talking about mail in.

 

[Zach]

Man, he's going to baaarely lose and then we're gonna have to endure Trump tweets about Handel's great victory. v_v

I know. He is going to do this for every fucking house race.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Counting has just barely begun and you guys have already given up.

NATE SILVER 7:59 PM
There are actually three groups of votes to think about tonight: the election day vote, the early in-person vote and the early mail vote. It’s expected that the election day vote will be the best for Republicans, that the early mail vote will be best for Democrats and that the early in-person vote will be somewhere in between. According to Nate Cohn of The New York Times, the results reported so far in Fulton County are mostly the early in-person vote.

step back from the ledge.

 

[Envelope]

I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed yet again

 

[Random Human]

It's better this way. Submission to destiny.

 

[Opto]

Should he lose, it'll be with a smaller margin than expected for the district in decades

It will be disappointing. It'll feel like there's no justice in the world and that the country will continue its trend to vote in awful people. But please remember other districts will be easier than this to grab. And should you happen to live in one of those districts, you can do something about the hopelessness you may feel. Hell, we could probably unseat Paul Ryan. Look at this ad for the man running against the Speaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6zAyPRbels

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

John King got the map out. This is big leagues now.

 

[Zolo]

This was going to be a coin-flip, so nobody should be thinking it was going to be one or the other.

[RoninChaos]

Even if he loses, this is a fucking wake up call and a warning to republicans. If he loses by 2 points Handel and every Republican should be fucking scared shitless for 2018. Handel will fuck up, and people will turn on her here.

Well... That's that. Another victory for Republicans.

We are a right wing nation.

"But mean old Trump is going to go on twitter and gloat about the big victory and make us feel sad."

unless they're time travelling voters in the georgia 6th, it doesn't really much matter if they give up or not -- the results will be what they are.

 

[Sobriquet]

Ossoff leads now according to NYT

 

[TheAbsolution]

In person Cobb and DeKalb just came in. 50.7 to 49.3 Ossoff!

 

[FireBeaver]

He's leading now.

 

[Ourobolus]

NYT times just updated with all the counties (still <1%) having some counted. Ossoff at 50.7%

 

[Quazar]

At the least, I'm drinking Tropacalia. Good luck my fellow Georgians.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Soon as I can afford it, I might move to California. Liberal haven over there, certainly isn't Texas.

To be fair, I've been hearing about the death of the GOP for a long time. I can't wait for that day, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I didn't want to say anything...

 

[maabus1999]

Dekalb starting near 60% Ossoff which is what he needs to be near to win.

 

[Beer Monkey]

He's leading now.

Leading but projected to lose by 0.6 based on where the votes have come from. Gonna be a late night.

Soon as I can afford it, I might move to California. Liberal haven over there, certainly isn't Texas.

Liberals need to NOT move to blue states.

 

[GrooveCommand]

Ossof's ahead! Go blue!
