"CHIEF CRITIC
President Trump spent election day sowing doubts about the runoffs, baselessly claiming that a win by Democrats would be the result of widespread fraud – a continuation of the false claims he has made about his own loss to Biden in November.

CRUCIAL QUOTE
Even before the race was called, some Republicans blamed Trump and his fraud claims for the impending loss, arguing that his continued insistence that the election was stolen depressed GOP turnout. “It’ll fall squarely on the shoulders of President Trump and his action on Nov. 3,” Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling told CNN, accusing Trump of stoking a “civil war” within the Republican party for going after GOP officials who refused to overturn the election.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Ossoff and Warnock will not be sworn in until the election is certified, which, barring legal challenges from Loeffler and Perdue, will likely occur before Biden and Harris take office on Jan. 20."

2. Probably after all of the court challenges

are resolved - and Mitch sees when he can somehow arrange it to fit into his busy calendar*.



*At least we know that Mitch's calendar is only good for 2 more weeks!

5. Military votes OK to arrive through tomorrow (Friday)

Neither race can be certified until after the military vote deadline passes. Both appear to be beyond the 0.5% that can allow the loser to ask for a recount.

So, probably some time next week.
