Dumb question, I'm sorry.
What would the margin have to be to avoid automatic recounts?

Recounts are not automatic in Georgia. A recount can be requested if the margin of victory is at or with 0.5%.

Rev. Warnock might blast through that threshold, but Ossoff might not.

But I wouldn't expect huge shift either way after a recount. Republicans just haven't shown up, at least in rural areas.

Somehow I feel like Stacy Abrams not being governor ended up saving the country.

It was definitely MY donor dollars to the campaigns and Stacey that let this happen. You're WELCOME.

Always believed in Georgia.

And even when the Senate looked lost, I had to remind people around me of the double runoff dream.

And now here we are with a better than not chance of both winning.

Just incredible.

The city beautiful
Warnock has been imbued by the spirit of the ghetto preacher. Out the way, Loeffler!

people who understand statistics do, yes.

the correct answer to the question is "because more republican votes have been counted than democrats so far", which is all 538 is showing. NYT's blue-leaning needle accounts for the fact that there are more votes left to be counted in more dem areas like ATL

There was very little polling done for these Run off elections, but even then 538 isn't even doing what they claim to do?

Nate Silver is a joke of an analysis.
