3. WOW. TY Stacey Abrams and team get out the vote in Georgia!!

[hlthe2b]

4. Impressive. I got my birthday gifts--even if one was a day late and buried among all this

horrible day's events.

Congrats to our new Senators. I am thrilled for the state of GA, all DEMS/Progressives, and for the hope of a better near future.

[Hoyt]

5. I'm fine with a recount, and Perdue losing a second time.

[imanamerican63]

8. Just like Trump!

Losing over and over and over and over again and again and again!

[LisaL]

10. It's more than 0.5% difference.

Perdue can't ask for a recount.

[bluestarone]

16. May be wrong but

IF he pays for the recount he can have it? (it's NOT free)

[bullwinkle428]

19. Chump will totally front him the money to pay for the recount!

[FelineOverlord]

6. Osseff lead over Perdue is 35000 votes!

Wonderful!

[Dagstead Bumwood]

7. My wife commented earlier how

if the events in DC had not happened today that the election would be the wall-to-wall coverage today. Not even getting much of a mention now.

[BigmanPigman]

27. I know! I am so fucking mad!!! I HATE the GOP.

[halobeam]

9. YES!

[tinrobot]

11. That's 11,780 times three!

14. ......

[Hortensis]

26. ...!

[servermsh]

12. Even better, it is a 0.74% lead. Outside margin for auto recount :) n/t

[Roland99]

18. There is NO auto recount in GA. The state or a candidate can request a recount if under 0.5% diff

[Elwood P Dowd]

13. Is it really raining in Georgia tonight or

is it republican tears?

[CottonBear]

33. It just started pouring rain here in NE GA. It 's a cold, hard rain.

I phone banked, wrote postcards, and went door to door to GOTV.

I met Jon Ossoff on the Saturday before the election. He is going to be a great senator. I am so proud of him and Reverend Warnock.

[Bradshaw3]

15. I'm thinking today may cool their jets on any recounts

But both are rich and total assholes so who knows.

Regardless, congratulations for Ossof.

[LisaL]

17. They get to ask for a recount if the difference is less than 0.5%.

Difference here is more than 0.5%.

[Bradshaw3]

20. But it's not, right?

And his lead is only going up.

[bamagal62]

21. Woohoo! Yes.

Georgians voted their osseff!

[brer cat]

22. Correct spelling is Ossoff.

[imanamerican63]

23. Auto corrected

I will fix it

[CottonBear]

34. We voted our Ossoff & Door Knocked for Warnock!

I am so proud that I was one of many Georgians who voted for our TWO new senators!
🍑🗳🇺🇸

[Vivienne235729]

24. Wow! I was just hoping it would get up to 25,000. Woohoo!!!

[BigmanPigman]

25. Fucking A! This should be the news of the day, not the

violence in DC today. We should be celebrating instead of watching the news in horror.

[C Moon]

28. Thank you Georgia!!!

[58Sunliner]

29. That's wonderful.

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. They're being led by a billionaire. He'll happily foot the bill.

"Will you accept a post-dated cheque?"

[catrose]

31. *swoon*

Funny how these millionaires don't want a recount as soon as it's their own money involved.

[rocktivity]

32. Says who? Source?

Well, here's the NY Times (1/6/2021 6PMEST):

Jon Ossoff
2,238,939
50.4%

David Perdue
2,203,324
49.6%

That's a difference of 35,615 votes, or .8 percent -- nearly twice the minimum for a recount
