1. Do we know who got the nod in the Senate Races?

Loeffler or Collins?

Who won the Dem contests?

I have looked online and there don't appear to be any results yet.

2. Right now Democrat Ossoff is just shy of 50% he needs to go against Perdue in Nov.

The Loeffler, Collins race is a special race in November, where all candidates- Democrats and GOPers — run against each other, with runoffs until someone gets a majority. It will be chaos.

[leftieNanner]

3. Oh. Thanks for the explanation.

I thought the Collins/Loeffler seat would be primaried this week.

That sounds nuts!

[Hoyt]

8. Here's how Wikipedia describes the race:

The 2020 United States Senate special election in Georgia will be held on November 3, 2020, following Senator Johnny Isakson's resignation effective December 31, 2019. Governor Brian Kemp appointed Kelly Loeffler to serve as Isakson's replacement, effective January 6, 2020, until the special election.[1]

On November 3, 2020, per Georgia law, a special general election will take place on the same day as the regularly scheduled U.S. Senate election for the seat held by David Perdue. A primary election will not occur; instead, all candidates, regardless of party, will be placed on the same ballot. Party labels will be printed on the ballot and if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the top two finishers will advance to a runoff election, to be held on January 5, 2021.[2]

6. Ossoff won a 3-way primary with 48% of the vote (other two got 14.7% and 13.2%)....

...so there probably will be a runoff. The winner will run against David Purdue.

The for for either Loeffler and Collins won't be until November in a special election. It's one of those free for alls where the Democrats and republicans run in one election, the top two will run off.

5. Wow

[Hortensis]

7. Sanders has his 25% already all wrapped up, right?

9. David Rice is a West Virginian

who, for whatever reason, decided to run for president. The bulk of his support came from his home county.

[George II]

10. I checked Ballotpedia and Vote-US, neither had any details about him.

[Staph]

11. I found him

on the West Virginia Secretary of State's website -- https://services.sos.wv.gov/apps/elections/candidate-search/candidate.aspx?candidate=16843

Rice's website appears to be dead, or at least non-existent.

[George II]

12. I found his name on the two sites I checked, but he didn't bother to respond to either of their....

....questionnaires so they know little about him but his name.

Just odd.

[Staph]

13. Think of Rice as

a small time Evan McMullin.
