From what I see it looks like a split. Warnock will win and Perdue will win.

Fulton and Dekalb are the majority of votes left, ossoff is expected to gain at least 11,000 votes.
20,000 votes left in dekalb with an 80% - 20% democrat advantage

That sounds great, but why not just wait until it's official? Another 12 hours surely doesn't make much of a difference.

What do you mean?
Too early to call? Nah. It’s a mathematical certainty.

You created a thread that says the Dems won control and then backed it up with speculation.
Not trying to be a jerk here, but you could have waited a few minutes.

I don’t think you’re using the word speculation correctly

I'd love for two Dem seats, but you are being optimistic.
I should paste that link for confirmation bias that I pasted for Chop earlier. You two need to figure out what it means to believe.

What confirmation bias? There are ~25,000 votes outstanding, all in counties that are leaning 60-85% democrat. Speculation would be saying that somehow these votes wouldn’t give ossoff enough votes ro win.

Ossoff up by 10,000 now.
Donald Trump destroyed the Republican Party. 2017 they controlled the house, Senate and White House and they lost them all.

I, for one, hope the dems win! Have been a lifelong libertarian with republican leanings but the last 4 years have been a resounding embarrassment.

I can't say how refreshing this feels. Not just because Weed will almost certainly be decriminalized (am i being too optimistic?), but mostly to shove this shit in the face of the asshole hillbillies ranting and raving about Trumps dumb ass for the last 4 years.

I gotta eat some crow on this one, really thought the idea that GOP turnout would be this depressed was overblown and that the incumbents (at least one of them) would hold on.
Biggest surprise to me was that Warnock outpaced Ossof’s vote totals. After the red baiting and the “he cares about Palestinians” smears I would’ve guessed it would hurt him, but black turnout went through the roof compared to November.
Now let those stimmies flow like spice

The push to get people out to vote this year was real. I received texts, emails, hand written letters almost everyday reminding me. But yeah koods is right, once it came down to counting up remaining votes in metro area it was good as done for republicans.
