FWIW, Georgia public radio was reporting light election day turn outturn across the state. No reports of long lines or delays.

We were in and out in less than five minutes. Saw maybe 10 people total there from driving in to driving out.

Conventional wisdom would say that’s not good for the Republicans. I won’t get my hopes up though.

They are reporting 45+minute lines in GOP stronghold of Cherokee County.

I'm still baffled at why Biden hasn't given a major job to Stacey Abrams. I'd like to see her replace Tom Perez.
 
I think the Election Day line thing is kinda bullshit because it takes you like 15 seconds to actually vote this time. General election you voted for 20+ different things as well as amendments that were a paragraph long that you may not have read earlier. It seems that actual day of voting is up in a lot of places, that includes Dem and Republican strongholds so who knows what it means but actual time to take to vote is no real indicator.
 
I’d appreciate it if John King and Wolf Blitzer would stop saying DeKalb County is outside of Atlanta. I live in DeKalb County in the City of Atlanta, damnit!
 
Yeah. CNN just reported that DeKalb county had higher turnout today than Election Day. Big drop from Fulton County gives Warnock and Ossoff an early lead. Something to watch throughout is the gaps between Warnock and Ossoff and Loeffler and Perdue and the total votes. There's a very small difference in total votes and Warnock and Perdue have a very slight margin over Ossoff and Loeffler respectively. It's consistently been between 1000-1500.
 
The split result is going to end up happening isn’t it. Then we can all go back to shitting on Cal and North Carolina.
 
Exit polls had 65+ turnout up and 18-25 turnout down compared to November. Also margins of voting from those groups improved for Republicans. Think Loeffler/Purdue win easily. "Centrists" are fine with awful people representing them so long as socialist extremism doesn't threaten their 401k.
 
Early signs that, as expected, Ossoff is running behind Warnock. Likely that the Warnock/Perdue split carries the day as many predicted.
 
CNN reporting that the voter registration system to verify signatures will be open later from 11 pm to 2 am count the votes. Looks more likely we'll get results tonight. At least we should know if it's in recount territory.

She doesn't want anything. She wants to be governor. I would absolutely take her recommendation for dnc chair and probably make that choice.
 
Yeah. Abrams wants governor. She's been working hard in the long game to make that happen. She would have gladly taken a VP nom. That's it. Simple story. It's annoying to keep seeing people trying to dream hire her for jobs she clearly doesn't want. She's already doing great work in Georgia. Don't mess it up and follow her lead.
 
I'd put big money on Doug Collins being the primary opponent to Kemp in 2022. He's currently 54 years old - he's nowhere near too old to be running. Trump pushed Kemp to nominate Collins over Loeffler for the Senate but Kemp didn't listen.

If Loeffler doesn't win tonight, Trump will be reminding Georgia voters that not only did Kemp screw him over in 2020, he also chose the Senator that lost to Warnock while he wanted that pick to be Doug Collins.

A couple of notes from listening to Hannity on the radio this afternoon:

Reports of 45+ minute waits in Cherokee County at 530p. Georgia does seem to have a pop in post-work voting (I know when I lived in Atlanta from 2012-2019, I would always go to work and then stop by the polling place around 6 pm on my way home), but not sure what that's worth.

Sean was very nervous. He was nervous on election day, he sounded even more on edge today.

It was sounding like if there's a split, it would be Loeffler/Ossoff. My personal thought is if there's 850k voters today, then Loeffler has a chance. I think Perdue needs 1M voters, which I don't think happens.

This is exactly what my friends in GS sound like.

What is your thinking here? If there’s a split, I think it’s Warnock/Purdue and that Purdue can get by with lower turnout today than Loeffler. She’s just horrible. So is Purdue, but if you just watch his jean jacket commercials, he seems like you could at least have a beer with him.
