Georgia Senate

[rso]

In looking at the Georgia Senate runoffs in January, I can see that Ossoff has a good chance against Perdue, as the Election Day result was quite close. But in looking at the Warnock-Loeffler race, I can’t see much of a chance for Warnock because the republican vote was split between Loeffler and Collins, and if you add their totals, they exceed Warnock’s by quite a bit. Am I missing something here ?.

1. no thats a realistic view. nt

2. do you think there will be much vote splitting? im thinking its probably all or nothing.

3. Yes. You're missing the fact that many of the Doug Collins folks *hate* Kelly Loeffler.

4. The race that seemed to get the most attention was the Ossoff race

It’s possible that enough people on our side didn’t know who Raphael Warnock was to actually cast a vote for him.

If you notice, Loeffler and Collins got around the same amount of votes any other Republican in a statewide race when you add up their votes. Whereas, Warnock got significantly less than Biden or Ossoff.

5. Collins and Loeffler's vote totals still add up to less than 50 percent.

All the exact same voters will be voting in both those races. If Ossoff has a chance, so does Warnock.

I'm actually considering moving temporarily to Georgia from Missouri so I can vote for both Democrats, if I can legally vote there with less than two months of residency. And if I can afford it and find somebody to look after my house and cat for those two or three months. It probably won't be possible for me to do so, though.

12. All you need is address. I would not take a car if you can avoid it because of licenses and

registration issues. I think deadline to Register is 12/7. I have been thinking of doing that too, but there are family issues here.

15. Unless

you are planning to really move to Georgia do not even think of doing something like that.

I live here and we just need to get out the vote.

We are Democrats and we are honest we are like trump and his lawbreaking family. Please everyone don't encourage breaking the law.

20. I would suggest you consult an attorney before contemplating such a thing.

On the face of it, it sounds fraudulent and if so you could find yourself in serious, and I mean serious, trouble.

6. You're also missing the fact that there were about 20 candidates on the ballot for that seat ...

and that included, I think, around 7 Democrats other than Warnock. (Including Joe Lieberman's son.)

[crickets]

16. Exactly. Matt Lieberman was nothing more than a spoiler there.

People begged him to drop out knowing he didn't have a real chance, and he wouldn't do it. Predictably, he added to a ridiculously long and confusing candidate list and siphoned off a few votes, but overall made a poor showing. With the ballot whittled down to two candidates and some serious campaigning, it will still be close, but Warnock does have a chance.

17. Correct, and add that all up to 48.4 Versus 49.3 Republican but turnout next time will

determine the winner

7. Loeffler Is A Criminal Where Are The Ads?

Crush her criminal ass.

8. Even Ossoff race is going to be very difficult.

Libertarian candidate is going to be out. Most libertarians presumably would vote for a republican?

[rzemanfl]

9. Loeffler is vulnerable because she's a crook.

10. Seems like that's a plus for a republican.

13. Every ad should show her house. n/t

11. I think if you push health care you can gain additional votes and some who didn't vote because they

never believed this could happen may now change their minds.

19. Nov 10 may have a huge influence. Only the SC rejecting striking down Pre-existing Conditions

would hurt the Democrats narrative. If it's stuck down or they punt, Democrats should hyper drive the "They're coming for your healthcare" narrative.

[keepthemhonestO]

14. Actually

there were 11 in the senate race and Warnock was at the bottom of the list plenty of Dems in that list splitting the count. My bet is on Warnock.

We've done the Ossoff runoff here before and lost but that was on the old Diebold machines with no paper trail. I am hoping we have a better chance with these new machines.

We just changed our machines here with in the year and this was one of the first big elections and we did it. We'll see! Maybe we can do both, sign up to send postcards or phone bank!

[Statistical]

18. It is a longshot but not impossible. Keep in mind the Democratic vote was split as well too.

Still nobody should think this is an easy win. Both races will be uphill battles but neither is unwinnable.
