I like Warnock more and more every time I hear him speak. We need that man in the Senate. It's a stunning contrast to see him debate a person who just spouts the same pre-written, Trump-esque talking points with the charisma of a burlap sack. Please come through, Georgia!

I feel like, if we only get 1 out of the 2, it might end up being Warnock. I def like him too.

I also put up my Jon Osoff sign today. My Warnock sign should be coming soon.

I got kind of lazy after the general election but finally got around to filling out my application for an absentee ballot. Got my wife to fill hers out to and I dropped it off yesterday. It's not much but we'll add at least +2 towards both Dem candidates. Lets please get this done.

Good god, finally. Obama needs to be camped out there, lol.

I'm so nervous about these runoffs. I feel like the fate of the world is resting in Georgia right now.

You mean both Dem candidates? I do wonder how it would go if I opened the door for a Republican doing the same and I reveal where I stand. I just wonder if they'll remain super friendly or maybe have a bit of a attitude about it.

I haven't had anyone from either side knock on the doors in my neighborhood trying to talk to us about it. But I did have one guy go to every house to put a hangers on our door handles to promote the Republican candidates. I just trashed it as soon as I got home from work.

But anyways, my wife and I got our absentee ballots. Gonna fill it out today or tomorrow and make sure to drop it off soon.

This 538 video makes me feel like it could be a 1-to-1 split. Warnock and Perdue seems to have more advantages going in. So does that make it 51-49 in the senate if it's a 1-to-1 split like that?

I also have a feeling it'll be a 1-1 split which would be a huge problem for us in the Senate

"Tempers flared at a "Get Out the Vote" rally in Stockbridge on Saturday morning when a passerby attacked a man holding campaign signs supporting U.S. Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, police said.
​
The incident occurred about 10:40 a.m. as a group supporting the candidates stood along Hudson Bridge Road near I-75 with political signs encouraging voters to take part in next month's runoff elections, authorities said.

"A passerby stopped and confronted a supporter with physical aggression," Henry County police Capt. Randy Lee said in an emailed statement. "The supporter suffered wounds to his face and head..

The suspect, who was not identified, was arrested and charged with battery, Lee said. The injured man was treated at the scene and released. "

51-49 this would make Romney one of the most powerful people on the senate, as he's the one dems most likely can convince to vote with them, if he gets what he wants.

If they both win, it'll be a 50-50 split with Bernie being one of the powerful people in the senate as he'll be able to stop any dem agenda if he wanted to, unless it has what he wants.

For some positive implications in this race, the racial gap in the mail-in ballots keeps narrowing:



Whites are +21 now, a week ago they were +26. The general was +20. This twitter data guy is convinced the runoff will have a more diverse electorate than the general.

On the flip side, ballot requests are still skewing much older than the general.

Depends. If early voting drops off in the next two days then it may mean something particularly good: dem vote drop off less than pub drop off. ATM it means the dem vote hasn't dropped off so far. Probably. There are too many factors altogether.

I found out today 538 has a tracker and I didn't realize how unprepared I was to see that. I need another 3.5 years before I can handle one again.

Anyway, how's day 3 lookin'!? Was day 3 yesterday???

The winners of these contests will determine which political party will control the U.S. Senate.

    Ossoff and Warnock could be competing against flies and crickets and still somehow lose that election. Unbelievable.

    The dedication to "sticking to your side", regardless of whether your side has merit or not, is one of the most baffling US things I know.

    The fact that the republicans can win elections by painting the moderate democrats as "radical leftists" is also deeply troubling.

    I knew it was going to be a long shot after seeing how many people split their vote Biden/R senate in not only Georgia but also other states.

    "moderates" balancing the ticket is going to be the death of us.

    Definitely not. There's one ad with a sound bite of Perdue basically making fun of Kamala's name. Couple that with Loeffer's on record remarks about the BLM movement and getting caught twice posing for pictures with card carrying KKK members, I would be surprised if they get 1% of the black vote.

    BTW, dropped off my absentee ballot today and there was a long line of in-person voters again today. The ads have been relentless and are every where. I believe the turnout is gonna be very good. Whether it will be enough remains to be seen though.
