Trump’s already grift texting about ‘voting machines’ stopping working today...

Pres Trump: Is it true that voting machines 'stopped working' earlier in Georgia today? Are Dems trying to STEAL this Election? FIGHT BACK! ACT: bit.ly/3pLNQem

I thought that was filled? Aren't both these seats in Georgia currently held by the two Republicans running?

I just mean when I looked up the numbers in the senate it currently has one vacant, so I assume that's Cali.

Sorry yes you are right.

Loeffler was appointed to replace Isakson and this is a special election to fill the last two years of Isakson's term.

technically the other seat is vacant as Perdue's term ended on 3 January (despite him being the sitting Senator and not yet losing his seat)
 
Do we know when one the vacant one gets picked? Does it just stay vacant until Newsom feels like picking someone?

Perdue and Loeffler are outperforming Trump in Georgia’s Republican-leaning counties so far.

But as Wasserman and Cohn have been talking about, besides the vote % they get in any of these counties, turnoff relative to the election and then relative to Dem leading counties also matters and they look to be hitting just 90% of the General Election turnout.

That’s a great number for a runoff election.
 
I'd say decent early start from the Dems, but a lot of uncertainty still, mainly turnout in big GOP counties vs big Dem counties
 


So far we have had more than half 50% of the vote in but roughly 90% is from early voting, hence the Dem lead.

This gap will certainly narrow as in-person vote comes in. However, I still remain.. cautiously optimistic.

Feck me I’m nervous

Absolutely. I'm still waiting for the moment when some large dump of votes come in and the NYT needle calculates that the GOP is a lock for both seats, and I go to bed.

There’s less than 10% of GA counties that haven’t reported anything, these are rural, probably are Republican, but their vote volume won’t swing the needles much.

You might have a late-ish night.

I'm going to bed in an hour whatever happens in reality, I'm not repeating that GE week. That was one long, delirious week... moments I'll remember are the Wisconsin comeback in the early hours of Wednesday, STOP THE COUNT, Nevada deciding to take a break from counting for 2-3 days, and a double flaming cock. Mostly I'll always remember the double flaming cock.
 
Sure is looking like 'today-voting' Republicans are gonna swing both of these pretty easily.
 


Those Cherokee 'Florida' county bastards just came in. Leads drops significantly. :nervous:

Remain calm though folks!

In the needles I trust. 69% and 59% chance of Dem victory estimated right now. I don't even watch the actual votes anymore, just the needles.
 
So, reports are saying Ds are outperforming yet the % are so close and they have not counted today voting yet (Which I assume more Rs voting there)?

Am I missing something here?

Yes, we're getting to the point where a decent chunk of the outstanding vote is in Dekalb County which is highly Dem, to the point where even election day votes there might be Dem leaning. If Dems poop their pants in Dekalb then they could lose this, but if they hit good numbers they are still slightly favored and would come down to smaller margins basically everywhere.

Ok, so we don't have the full result from Dekalb county yet right? If so, there might still be some hope. Too bad, I can't watch CNN so not sure what the magic map or whatever it is called is showing now.
