Wicked close but the trend looks the wrong way.

FWIW, PredictIt seems 80% confident Dems will sweep tonight, which probably means 85%-90% chance of winning after applying MAGA correction factor.

The needle was right on the money in Georgia in November, and they say we will win

Warnock +1.7
Ossoff +1.0
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

If both Democrats do pull it out, I hope they and the rest of Democratic Senators from Republican governor states have good security arrangements.  :ph34r: One crazy nut really could make a whole lot of difference.

This looks like it's over. All that's left are Dem votes in the big counties, more than enough to overcome the Rep leads now.

Congrats to Senators-elect Ossof and Warnock. I'm going to bed.

What source are you using Funky?  Google is showing both good guys trailing by about a hundred grand with 90% reporting.

NYT has that it is De Kalb County coming in late - apparently a very strong Democratic Atlanta suburb.  NYT has both trending to win at the moment.

Biden won DeKalb County by 250,000 votes (58,000 v 308,000). Just about every Biden won area is coming in stronger for Democrats in the Senate races so far.

Ossoff is about to pull ahead of Purdue, and now Warnock is substantially ahead of Loeffler. :D

I wonder if Georgia GOP is still feeling good about what they did in 2018.  It seems that by striking Stacey Abrams down, they made her more powerful than they could've possibly imagined.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Still looks kinda close

It is close, but the votes that are outstanding come from Democratic strongholds. It's over, and Georgia now gets to stop being a retard state. :yeah:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
