The Officially Unofficial 2020 Georgia Senate Runoff Elections Armageddon Thread (1 Viewer)

[SaulGoodmanEsq]

Control of the Senate is on the line. Assuming the current numbers will stand on recount, only 1.9% of the vote (90,295 votes) separated Republican incumbent David Perdue from his Democratic challenger, Jon Ossof. The third place Libertarian candidate received 2.3% of the vote (144,566 votes). In the special election, Raphael Warnock led the pack with 32.9% of the vote trailed by incumbent Kelly Loeffler who received 25.9% of the vote. Doug Collins, the other major GOP candidate, finished with 20% of the vote. Various other Democrat candidates finished with a combined 15.5% of the vote. Various other GOP candidates finished with 3.4% and roughly 2% for independent candidates.

Andrew Yang has posted that he will be moving to Georgia to help campaign for Ossof and Warnock.

Loeffler is not well liked, even by Republicans. She has never won an election, she was appointed. I think there’s a strong possibility of enough split votes for her to lose (3-5%).

Yeah. IIRC, every Republican in Georgia (as well as Trump) was begging for Kemp to appoint Doug Collins to the seat and went ballistic when he didn't. I think Trump endorsed him in the November election as well.

Yeah, and Jeanine Pirro had a pretty epic rant against Loeffler. You know she doesn't do anything without Dear Leaders blessing.

I would disagree. I could see Warnock winning and Ossoff losing. That’s been what I have been thinking will happen. Who knows, though?

Pretty much where I'm at as well.

That seems really high. I'm thinking 99% of votes are going to go straight ticket. I could very well be wrong. No matter who wins, it will be interesting to see if the vote splits at all.

Perdue got 2.462 million votes (49.7%)
Loeffler and Collins combined got 2.253 million (45.9%)

There were a slew of other candidates, but nobody that stole heavily from those two. Some random R got like 1%. That means there was roughly about 3% that voted for Perdue but not another Republican. I'm thinking the Loeffler vote is probably the combined Loeffler/Collins vote and the others will probably stay home. That's where my 3-5% comes from.

Speaking of Collins, I'm willing to bet he is calling Loeffler everything but a child of God behind closed doors.

The most effective campaign ads against Loeffler are the ones Collins made. Radical Liberal Raphael Warnock should be airing them himself with his face pasted on top of Collins face using Microsoft Paint.

"Radical liberal Raphael Warnock. Radical liberal Raphael Warnock. Radical liberal Raphael Warnock. Radical liberal Raphael Warnock. Radical liberal Raphael Warnock. Radical liberal Raphael Warnock. Radical liberal Raphael Warnock. Radical liberal Raphael Warnock. Radical liberal Raphael Warnock. Radical liberal Raphael Warnock."

She lived up to Trump's expectations of her though. We all know he's got some masterful debate skills himself.

And what the heck is a "radical liberal" anyway? I never hear Fox or the GOP talk about "moderate" liberals.

Their base is already terrified of 'radical Islam'. Adding 'radical' just brings the target emotionally closer to what they already fear.

I am think John Bel Edwards was called a radical liberal, so that just shows you how totally meaningless that phrase actually is.

Faith shaken in system, Trump’s Georgia supporters consider skipping U.S. Senate runoffs

Remarks made by supporters of President Donald Trump at GOP rallies across the state this week suggest that years of unsubstantiated claims about structural electoral flaws - and now pushed by the president - have eroded faith in the system at a time when Georgia races have never been closer.

All this talk about rigged elections will hopefully lead to depressed turnout from Trump voters.

Ummm... Sure, Kelly. We believe you...

He needs to worry about himself, since he has been said to have participated in a smear campaign against a rape victim by three people.
