Warnock Is Going To Come Up Less Than 0.5% Short Of An Outright Victory

[SoCalDavidS]

He's currently at 49.6% with 99% reporting.

24 hours ago, he was at 49.2%, so I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at 49.7% or even 49.8% when all the votes are counted.

It's a shame that so many Georgians voted for the Moron the repubs nominated. Warnock only needed a few of them, and this would be over.

1. Probably a microscopic sliver of hope for the outright victory

Not much more tho.

2. No other batches of voting - absentee, overseas, provisional?

3. 50% is still possible

No one really knows exactly how many votes are left to count. 44,000 is the last number I heard left, and that wouldn't be enough, but if there are closer to 80,000 left it's possible for him to get to 50.0%.

5. You got another Warnock fundraising message this morning, too?

[bamagal62]

6. Yes!

7. I think if the GOP take the house, Warnock is in good shape to win a run off.

8. I agree

I think this. If the race will determine the majority of the senate, the republicans will throw everything and the kitchen sink at it. If the senate is not in play Warnock will win easily.

What I mean by that is that the republicans are terrible people. If it means power to them then they will vote for anything. If it doesn't then they won't bother.

10. You're Right To An Extent

But a Senator is still a Senator, and they would rather be at 50-50 than 51-49.

So they'll put a lot of money into the race, and correspondingly, so will the Democrats. Even though control is not at stake, it's still 1 Senator in either party's column, and that's not irrelevant.

11. you are right

50-50 wins the vote for us. They have to be 51-49. I wasn't thinking about that. Of course they filibuster anyway.

9. In Response To Some Comments On This Thread

The Secretary Of State has already said that a Runoff is a 100% certainty. I take that to mean there is no realistic chance of there being enough votes still outstanding, to get Warnock Above 50%.

With 99% reporting, I think he might tick up 0.1 or 0.2, but not 0.4.
