Official Election Month Thread: COUP falls short, nothing to see here

NC has counted everything they had from election day as well. Only thing outstanding are potential mail in votes that can be late arriving. Not sure what the final deadline was for them? So very very slim chance results change.

Believe it's sometime early next week and they project having counts by next Thurs/Fri
 
Just found betting odds for the GA runoffs - and as we know, the betting sites obviously have inside info and know exactly what is going to happen.

Warnock -140
Loeffler +100

Purdue -300
Ossoff +200

I do not understand this. With the fate of the U.S. Senate hanging in the balance I would assume that anyone showing up would vote for either both Dems or both Pubs. I assume both races will be on the same ballot, right?

538 explains the delay in finalizing the NC and AK results:

You might be wondering about North Carolina and Alaska, two unprojected states that we haven’t heard a peep from in days. Well, there’s a good reason for that: Both states accept absentee ballots that arrive as late as next week, and they won’t provide any updates until Nov. 10 (in Alaska) and Nov. 12 or 13 (in North Carolina). In fact, Alaska hasn’t released any absentee-ballot results yet, so that state (and its surprisingly competitive Senate race) is still up in the air.

I dunno i could see people talking themselves into ballot splitting and taking Warnock b/c Loeffler is a terrible human being but clutching pearls about handing senate to Socialist Joe? I mean that person is an asshole but I’m sure they’ll exist.

Also, african american voters are going to show up strong for Warnock ... wonder how many will just vote his race.
 
And like fucking clockwork...

I don't follow GA politics, but Warnock seems like a cool guy. I'm holding out some hope for these 2 races. Obama, Biden and Harris will be camped out there, and I doubt Trump pays a single visit. I'd love to hear from some GA posters on these 2 races.
 
feels like the air has really been let out of the Trump balloon in a matter of days

I hadn't seen the full results of the runoff, but there were 5 other Democrat candidates that totaled 14.5% of the vote. I'd assume they would go to Warnock. Not sure Collins' vote will all go to Loeffler as she's made herself out to be so extreme. It should be close.

Loeffler has never won an election statewide, Perdue has. Loeffler's easier to run against.

Also, Ossoff has been dissected heavily by Georgia's media and Georgia voters since 2017.

can someone give a quick recap as to whether or not there was any calculus in the GA Democrats deciding which candidate was going to run in which Senate race?
