Thread: House Seat Up For Grabs in GA, Polls Close 7pm EST

  1. #1

    House Seat Up For Grabs in GA, Polls Close 7pm EST

    CD6 has been a safe GOP seat for decades, but the latest polls have the democrat in the lead, though under 50%, which would mean a run-off.

    ...should give us a bit of a preview of 2018.

    It will be very hard for Ossoff to break 50%
    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    I expect he'll be around 45% and then lose narrowly in the run-off.

    A close loss is still bad news for the GOP given how red this seat ought to be.

    If he actually wins, it's a big canary in the coalmine.

    I think this was Newt's seat at one time.

    Ossoff is polling 20+ over the other candidates mainly due to:
    - Tom Price and the TrumpCare fail
    - DCCC dumping $8M into his campaign

    Apparently the early voting (which will come in first) is expected to be heavily Democratic.

    More than 60% would indicate a good chance for the Dem to win.

    It was Newt's seat and the Dem's did dump a lot of money in that race. It really was the perfect GA district for a libertarian but...oh, well.

    early vote:

    Results so far are entirely from Dekalb County, the most corrupt, liberal cesspool in Georgia. The rest of the district will be solidly against Ossoff.

    LOL at the Trumptard tweeting photos in that feed

    If Ossoff wins, it'll be largely because of that kind of stuff.

    Reminds me of "China Jon" (but real).

    Early vote now in for Cobb County, 57% (Hillary had 40% there).

    Total district-wide so far is 63.4% for the Dem.

    Fulton County early voting, 61% for Ossoff (Hillary 46%)

    62% district-wide

    I'd say it's going to be close.

    With 14% of Dekalb precincts reporting, Ossoff still up 9.5 points over Hillary.

    Obviously that margin will keep narrowing though as the election day vote becomes a higher percentage of the total.

    Not a chance of that happening. Extreme wishful thinking.
