Once again, all eyes are on Georgia as Peach State voters choose between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Herschel Walker to represent them in the Senate.
First! 
This will be Warnock’s 4 election in two years to hold this seat.
Damn he’s good.
Before third
Yes, he is.
There was an individual who did some recon earlier today with some pleasant news. I glimpsed it once and went elsewhere.
(1) I hope it remained okay
(2) for real
That includes a Trafalgar poll, a notoriously GOP-friendly outfit, that has Warnock up four in a survey conducted from December 3-5.
The GOP sock-puppet polling houses (sock-pollers?) always do this. Spew out a wave of gop-slanted polls to create the victory narrative, then quietly do a legit paint-the-tape poll just before the election so they don’t look like an outlier.
“…the Georgia runoff…”
Isn’t that what NASCAR fans get about an hour after visiting the Pork Rindz stand?
C’mon team Warnock!
Georgia polls close at 7pm eastern. Those in line at 7pm may still vote. But the ballot counting begins at 7pm.
I cannot relax / calm down until this thing is done.
Here’s hoping the race is called for Warnock around 9 PM ET. Of course, 7:01 PM would be fine as well as long as it doesn’t discourage some in line from waiting to cast their ballots for him.
I’ll celebrate a Warnock victory when it’s called: this is another race within the error band of the average poll and it’s in the deep South so I’ll wait until then.
I do however have a bottle of Blanton’s Single Barrel (#785 from Warehouse H) bourbon at the ready.
ETA:
Bottoms up!
I believe that you’ll dancing soon!
Breaking: With 0.0% of the votes in, Senator Raphael Warnock is projected to be the winner of today’s runoff election.
You heard it here Xth.
Mr. Fetterman’s seat flip in PA was key. With the Senate firmly in Dem hands anyway, there was even less justification to vote for a troubled, completely unqualified candidate: even if he were a member of your tribe!
Yippee! That’s just 10 minutes from now!
I’ve got some 7K IPAs in the fridge.
Re; the point on state Georgia state composition. Might bode well in the future for Texas and a few other sunbelt states that are growing by leaps and bounds. I don;t care where Dems are as long as there are more of them in office.
We live in the era of bad actors (Messrs. Putin, Kim, Xi Jinping, DJT, DeSantis, Musk, etc.) and unlikely saviors (former V.P. Pence, assorted GOP attorneys general, The State of Georgia, etc.).
I suspect delays will happen in some polling places if people are still in line, but it is now pretty much over but the shouting.
Lord willing, GA sends the pastor back to the Senate and the CTE victim back to Texas where he belongs.
In some ways Mr. Walker is a tragic figure. It would be easier to feel sympathy for him if he wasn’t such a jerk. However, I hope he someday gets the help he needs.
I got Aretha ready on the Bose.
