4. I can't go there until I see the ✅ next to their names!

I think we’re going to know tonight.

[OrlandoDem2]

18. +1

[yellowdogintexas]

69. same here I am in Texas where it is 11 pm and still nervous

Waiting for the fat man to start screaming.

I was watching MSNBC livestream on a link to all sorts of news channels and it suddenly went on the fritz probably overloaded

I don't have cable, so I have to make do!!!

[electric_blue68]

73. tend to agree 🤞

[doc03]

5. No more Moscow Mitch! nt

[dutch777]

21. And may he burn in hell!

He hurt so many people for his power game. Shameful man and his downfall is richly deserved! My only fear is the spawn of him and Trump and their ilk could be even more evil.

[Drahthaardogs]

6. About 170,000 D votes in Dekalb

Alone. We got this

[msongs]

19. 190K per msnbc that's even better ntt

[iluvtennis]

56. Yes, that's what both CNN and MSNBC are reporting. And they say that Dems normally take 80% of the

votes in DeKalb....if we get 80% of that 170, that's 136,000 votes. And then both Warnock and Ossoff go ahead!!!!

[MustLoveBeagles]

7. It's looking good for us right now but I can't relax yet

[drmeow]

11. You and me both

until its certified I don't believe anything!

[calguy]

27. Same here.

It's not over until it's over. I'm not claiming any victory yet.

[58Sunliner]

8. I was going to avoid the news I was so nervous.

No bubbly either!

[PatSeg]

9. Oh let it be true!!!

13. CNN has both r's ahead??

With 82% in. ???????? Just looked

[HUAJIAO]

20. So does WAPO and REP leads growing.

But what do I kmow... just an interneter

[Fiendish Thingy]

38. It's the outstanding votes that matter- almost all from strong Dem counties. Nt

[Wawannabe]

40. K thanks

I don’ watch TV

[onetexan]

63. Check the NY Times needles here - Warnock @Very Likely & Ossoff @Pretty Likely

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/01/05/us/elections/forecast-georgia-senate-runoff.html?action=click&pgtype=Article&state=default&module=styln-elections-2020

To me the NYT needle is the most accurate given the team takes alot into account, not just current vote count. It was spot on for the general elections. Keep in mind Dekalb cty & more left leaning areas still coming in so these w put both candidates over.

[roamer65]

14. I think we gonna win it as well.

DeKalb and Chatham counties will put them over.

[WheelWalker]

15. Power to the People, Right On!

[USALiberal]

16. Based on what???? Nt

[A_Woman_from_MI]

51. This is encouraging

The NYT needle: https://tinyurl.com/y2aochap

[turtleblossom]

17. Fingers crossed

[Beakybird]

22. It's solely because of the $5 I gave to each candidate.

Sorry for being stingy, but I've been unemployed since early March.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

29. I'll have to check cause I think I have about $30.

Actually $40 since 11/3/20.

[leighbythesea2]

71. I love this

Comment! Me too, (but in last 2 weeks of December had a turn of luck).
But no money yet, so I had to give about the same. Every bit helps! Last year I was giving monthly to female candidates I liked. Hoping that was a...pay it forward.

[Beakybird]

75. Well I guess we all did our part.

[Oneironaut]

23. I'm afraid not.

This is still very much a tossup. There is no reason to have anything but a neutral opinion yet, and all celebrations are premature. We'll need to see.

[secondwind]

28. A lot of Democrat votes still uncounted.

[Oneironaut]

30. Yup! For sure. It's still very early, though. There are lots of votes to be counted.

The victor of either race really isn't clear yet. We'll need to wait and see. Hopefully Republican counties underperformed, and Democratic counties overperformed. Also hoping that DeKalb County massively overperformed!

[Cha]

24. Holy Shit.. with all due respect..

We don't know yet!

Please LET IT BE!

[ailsagirl]

35. That's correct, right Cha??

But I am still hopeful...

[Cha]

42. Oh yeah I'm much More Hopeful with

the numbers than I was before they got through a lot of the Votes!

I had no idea what to expect.. I just knew I've been getting over a 100 text from the gop in GA tying to GOTV ... they think I'm some guy name "Jerry".. they've been obsessed!

[ailsagirl]

55. Shoot-- now our candidates are behind

[BootinUp]

25. A day that will live in infamy, lol

[mvd]

26. I think you're right

Is there any reason to think not based on the remaining vote? Still, I am waiting to celebrate.

[BootinUp]

31. Hey turtle!

FUCK YOU...HUGELY, AND BIGLY, THE BIGGEST.

[Eyeball_Kid]

32. I hope that, in a few hours, we can talk about eliminating the filibuster. n/t

[Mr.Bill]

41. I think Manchin said weeks ago he will

vote against removing the filibuster. He's going to be problematic at times.

I hope he changes his mind.

[Demsrule86]

81. That was before the senate election.

[AllyCat]

33. Taking a break from a crazy night on the floor...

I didn’t even want to look. This is making me feel a bit lighter right now.

[Deuxcents]

34. Wait...

I changed the channel to Frontline b/c I was so nervous n the numbers...now..a reversal? Ok..I’ll peek..

[FailureToCommunicate]

37. I don't know what network you're watching...MSNBC still shows dire results

[yaesu]

43. i got the calc out and we can expect about 154,000 dem votes from one county, may put us over

for a while anyway.

[mvd]

44. If we just went by the raw tally on Nov 3, we'd have a bad outcome

Lots of smart people know what votes are left.

[TwilightZone]

45. Huh?

Kornacki has been talking about how left-leaning the remaining votes are. That doesn't seem terribly dire to me.

[FailureToCommunicate]

54. Dems are behind by 83,000 and 100,000 vote as of 10;43 pm. Hardly pop the cork time.

48. Me too. Took a quick peek and saw

Billionaire Barbie leading, threw up and switched back to movie channel. I don’t get all this glee here, I love it but don’t get it.

[bucolic_frolic]

46. What happened to overseas ballots

and I'll believe it when I see it

[iluvtennis]

58. Overseas and military ballots haven't been counted yet. They have til Friday for those

ballots to be received.

[James48]

47. Too early

Wait until tomorrow. There will be plenty of time to celebrate later. At this time, just watch, and continue praying.

[PirateRo]

49. I sincerely hope you're right!

It’s still early.

53. Chickens....

Hatching. Counting. Don't.

[2Legit]

57. Not taking a breath until it is over.

It is tight as a tick. I love Steve Kornacki, but I'm not feeling optimistic until all of the votes are counted. Remember that Georgia is very good at disenfranchising voters.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

59. Let's hold on a minute........

I'm reading that the Associated Press has got Kelly Loeffler leading.

[KevTucky]

60. Folks, it ain't over til

the lying con man claims it was rigged and demands the acting Sec. of State add votes to the Repubs.

[Taraman]

61. I can't watch. Makes me crazy.

[ShazzieB]

62. From the New York Times

"Republicans continue to hold a narrow lead in the tabulated vote, but Democrats are increasingly clear favorites to win both races for Senate. Over the last hour, Republicans have failed to outperform expectations in relatively Republican areas, leaving them at the mercy of the overwhelmingly Democratic votes that remain in the Atlanta area. To prevail, the Republicans will have to outperform our expectations in these remaining votes by a significant margin, and in the case of Kelly Loeffler an implausible margin. They haven't outperformed our expectations much of anywhere tonight."

This sounds encouraging. Not getting my hopes up, but reading this just now lessened the urge to start tearing my hair out by a good bit.

[Saboburns]

64. Told you so

There are true professionals who do this better than Steve Kornacki, who is very good.

The New York Times is the best site if you want to be in the know.

Nate Cohn and Dave Wasserman you need to follow on Twitter.

[Scruffy1]

65. I really needed this.

After a year filled with isolation and chaos I see some hope. Maybe a light at the end of the tunnel. No way Mitch is going to be able to herd the batch of deplorables in the Senate. Too bad I can't go and celebrate, but I might live long enough to see our current disaster end.

[DesertRat]

66. Yes!

[Jon King]

67. Dave Wasserman just called it!!!!

OMG, it happened! Mitch is humiliated, Trump is destroyed. Now the tide will turn on Trump's influence and he will also be prosecuted in NY State.

[yellowdogintexas]

I just haven't been able to watch.

KEEP HOPE ALIVE !

[BainsBane]

76. Perdue is still ahead by 1200 votes

I don't see how that tells you the Democrats won two seats.

I'll believe they won when I see it, and not before.

[writes3000]

77. It's down further now.

And people are starting to call it for Ossoff. I’m so excited and happy.

[BainsBane]

78. who are "people"?

Is this like "a lot of people say"? It sure sounds like it. Perdue is still up by just under 1000. None of the networks have called it. The time to celebrate it is when the race is actually called, not when "people say." Up to 17,000 military votes are coming in on Friday. We may not know the winner until after those are counted.

[Saboburns]

80. Somebody knows something you don't know, Bub.

and they certainly hadn't at the time you made your post.

[Saboburns]

85. And yet I'm correct

Tilt another windmill Bub.

[BainsBane]

86. I hope his lead maintains

I hope it survives the incoming military ballots that still need to counted, and I hope it survives a recount if he remains less than 0.5 percent in the lead. You think predictions matter. I think results do. I have watched too many elections in which predictions proved to be wrong to put ANY stock in them.
I am not Bub. Nor am I Don Quixote: I do not wish the Republicans to win, as your post implies. Your rudeness is duly noted.

[proud patriot]

79. WHAT CAN WE GIVE STACEY ????
