[applegrove]

vote. Damn No big lines in Fulton County which is democratic heavy.

[mucifer]

1. crap

[jezebel321]

2. white Republicans who hated Trump but going back home to the Rep party now. nt

[DonCoquixote]

12. this is exactly

why some of us brown and black voters get really annoyed when the welcome mat is rolled for former republicans, whereas some still have to act like they have to hide us.

Many of those people who say they hate Trump will go right back to being the GOP assholes who hate ALL OF US, ALL OF US!, including YOU! Meanwhile, Black and brown walked over broken glass, through covid, and against men with guns to vote, yet when it comes to talking about anything that might move the needle away from they that got theirs, we are old to stay in the basement!

[StarfishSaver]

32. Ain't that that truth

Stay in the basement and don't make too much noise down there ...

[DonCoquixote]

36. while we feed you crumbs

and the people we want dessert!

Look, The time when we can be content to give poor people the crumbs and white suburbanites the dessert is over. We are not trying to starve people anyway, as even the richest suburbanite who thinks, not THINKS they are a millionaire is but one medical bill from being downsized. We are not trying to run ahead, but would like to walk With people without worried that someone will shoot us!

[helpisontheway]

3. Darn! Nt

[Mike Nelson]

4. Yuck...

... how can anyone educated think Perdue is worth a vote...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Maybe they voted early.

[secondwind]

6. Lots of Democrats have already voted ....

[Drunken Irishman]

10. Exit polls poll early voters. So, they would be included.

19. You are certain?

Explaining Exit Polls

An election exit poll is a survey based on interviews with voters as they leave (or exit) their balloting locations. To estimate the outcome of an election in a particular constituency, a sample of its smallest voting units (often referred to as precincts or polling locations) is drawn and at least one interviewer is assigned to each sampled location on Election Day. On a pre-determined and systematic basis, the interviewer approaches people who have already voted in order to obtain an interview. For example, depending upon the expected number of voters at the sample location, the interviewer may approach every third or fifth person who leaves the voting location. The interviewer usually hands the voter a questionnaire on a clipboard and asks him or her to fill out the questionnaire, fold it up, and deposit it in a survey ballot box. In most instances the exit poll questionnaire is self-administered to protect the privacy of the voter and the confidentiality of each individual’s responses.

22. Yes.

From CNN's article on Georgia exit polls:

The CNN exit poll was conducted by Edison Research for the National Election Pool, a consortium of CNN, ABC News, CBS News and NBC News. Interviews were completed with 5,260 voters in one of three ways: In-person on Election Day at 39 polling places across Georgia, in-person at 25 early voting locations around the state or by telephone for voters who cast ballots by mail or in-person during early voting. Results for the full sample of voters have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2 percentage points, it is larger for subgroups.

Your link is how exit polls were traditionally done before a significant shift toward vote by mail due to the pandemic.

[cilla4progress]

24. Ahhh....

thank you!

[Proud liberal 80]

7. White voters are white voters

In Georgia, educated or not

[dhill926]

8. I think it's a real long shot to take down Perdue...

sitting senator...white guy. I think Warnock has a better chance of winning. That being said, I think Ossoff is a future star, no matter what happens today...

[Irish_Dem]

9. Dems voting early. Don't get the golly wobbles yet. nt

[MuseRider]

16. I love that, golly wobbles.

After 4 years of Trump that sounds perfect. I DO feel golly wobbly, just worried and not wanting to see any more gloating R faces acting like little children rubbing it in.

[Irish_Dem]

17. I'm worried too, but too early to hit the panic button. nt

[getagrip_already]

11. easy, we voted early, they were always going to turn out for the gop day of.....

breathe. win, lose, or draw, the die is rolling.

Not saying it's good news. Just saying to wait it out.

[Botany]

13. White rich people voting republican

nothing new here.

[BlueStater]

14. I don't get why anyone would vote for a crooked, craven, racist mediocrity like Perdue.

That being said, I’m taking every poll I read from now on with a grain of salt.

[maxsolomon]

15. White People by and large hate Democrats.

White Men in particular hate us and our Politicians. They would rather vote for a cartoon villain with an R after his (or her) name than a goddamn tax-and-spend Socialist Communist Antifa Nazi bleeding heart Liberal.

Because they're selfish and pig ignorant.

[applegrove]

18. They want money so they can dig up the old pool in the back yard and

put in a waterpark. "WHY WON'T DEMS LET ME HAVE ANOTHER TAX CUT SO I CAN UPDATE MY POOL".

[Dagstead Bumwood]

29. That pool in the backyard thing never works out well.

[applegrove]

31. I liked drive in theatre movies because i was better talking in a group than one on

one and we went to drive ins as a whole group when we were teens. I have a bad auditory memory and was painfully shy and groups and alcohol helped me come alive. Can't remember if i saw poltergeist in a theatre or a drive in. Don't like horror or fantasy or sci fi films as an adult. Now the horror is in all Americans lives. It is hard to bear. Vibes to you all.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

34. Yeah, I'm similar in my feelings for horror movies.

I have only a handful of ones that I like, including Poltergeist and The Shining. My wife tried to get me to watch one of those Paranormal Activity movies once but it was just too damn creepy.

[rockfordfile]

20. BS

[maxsolomon]

28. White People who vote for Rs aren't selfish?

I say they are.

[TwilightZone]

21. 41% of white voters voted for Biden.

And the gap has closed in recent years.

Blanket statements are rarely accurate.

[maxsolomon]

27. I am a White Man.

I said "by and large". 59% didn't.

[JI7]

30. They hate Democrats because they are racists. They are fine with rural white farmers

getting tax payer funded welfare.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

23. Going to wait to hear the numbers from the actual vote.

When they come in I'll know to be worried.

[Dawson Leery]

25. What do other exit polls say? What about early voters?

[abqtommy]

26. Until I see an exit poll that lists college-educated POC I'm not gonna put any faith in it.

[budkin]

33. Too bad their turnout has sucked

Not a good night for the GOP

[Mister Ed]

35. One thing, though: exit polls don't include mail-in, early, or absentee voters.

For that reason, in this election year, I put a lot less stock in their conclusions.
