I am still holding out hope that Warnock can get above 50 percent. If not, the fact Walker won't have Kemp's coattails should help in a runoff.

Maybe Libertarians will think of the social issues (abortion, pot, gay rights) more so than the economic ones, which would favor the Dems in getting votes from Libertarians.

Didn't think about the Libertarians. I still think Warnock is going to pull it off , though.

If that's true, it will be very good for Warnock. Big turnout in Dem areas and weak turnout in GOP areas.

Or can people previously ineligible due to age, who turn 18 before December 6, now register and participate?

In Georgia, a runoff is considered to be a continuation of the election. So registration is closed to new registrants.

precinct. It was sad the number of people we had to turn away cause they were at the wrong precinct & they wouldn't have time to go their correct precinct by 7P.

When looking at the ballots at the end of the night there were several Kemp voters that voted for Warnock and not the libertarian.

Abrams & Warnock won BIG in our precinct.

Walker is only going to look worse as a candidate the more he has to campaign, and Kemp will not be on the ballot to boost him.

If so that would be a gain of about 30,000 votes so that should be enough to put her over the top... barely.

Fingers crossed!

In a bit we will know the exact numbers. My guess is if it is more than 150k Dems will hang on pretty nicely
