RAZOR CLOSE: Pair of Georgia Runoff Races Nail-Biting Tight With U.S. Senate Control At Stake

Candidates are locked in close races as Georgia voters decide a pair of Senate runoffs that will determine whether Democrats or Republicans control the chamber in Washington. The races pit Republican David Perdue, whose Senate term expired Sunday, against Democrat Jon Ossoff; and Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a Republican appointed to an unexpired term about a year ago, against Democrat Raphael Warnock.

Election Day in Georgia comes a day ahead of a joint session of Congress to certify the electoral college vote and cement President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. President Trump is pressuring Vice President Pence, who will preside over the session, to intervene in the tally.
Here’s what to know:
  • In Tuesday’s runoffs, 4.4 million votes were cast, exceeding the turnoutligible voters in the state; that’s lower than the 68 percent turnout rate in November, but much higher than 54 percent turnout in Georgia’s 2018 gubernatorial election. Another way to look at it is that turnout in the runoff is 88 percent as high as in November’s presidential election, which is quite high for a runoff.
  • Exit polls showed partisans sharply divided over confidence in Georgia’s vote count as Trump repeatedly makes baseless claims about widespread voter fraud and a rigged election. The polls also showed Democrats making gains among Hispanic and Black voters.

  1. The people of Georgia selected the anti-Semitic Republican (he photoshop enlarged his Jewish opponents nose) and the anti-Semitic Dem (radical leftist black pastor). Not good for the Jews.

  2. A short while ago David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler were ahead by significant numbers, but now, the two super-leftist-paid-for-by-Communist-China-guys suddenly edged them out??????? This is the same type of thing they did with President Trump two months ago!!

    I DON’T BUY IT AND THERE ARE A MASSIVE NUMBER OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE ALSO NOT GOING TO BUY IT!!

  3. Hmm, when about 93% of the votes were counted, both Republicans were leading by about 1 percentage point each. Then suddenly, during the night, a massive influx of new ballots arrive which are completely disproportionate to the previous 93% of votes in favour of the Dem candidate. Sounds familiar, hmmm.
