You know that Purdue and Lloefler will delay

With lawsuits and recounts. Coleman vs Franken over again....and what sucks is that unlike Coleman (or Purdue for that matter) Lloefler can delay while remaining a Senator and still participating in votes.

They have one allowed recount, if a race ends within 0.5%.

The heads of our state are hard-core GOP, and they are pissed off at Trump and their candidates. The SoS today said that Perdue needs to apologize to his wife for the death threats. Kemp has stayed out of the election entirely for the last week to ten days. So, they aren't going to put up with much shit.

State has to certify the results quickly, within a week as I recall. There's not much they can do to stop them, especially if the vote lead is significant. Recounts, but that's about it.

Looks like the Pollsters that weighed in on this race got it right, they had Warnock at +2, Ossoff at +1.2.

He margin of defeat will be too wide. It appears that she will lose by up to 1 point, but at least 0.8 points. That is well out of the recount range.

The Purdue/Ossoff race will be much closer.
