In reply to the discussion: What happens if Mcconnell and Graham win and we lose Doug Jones How do we wing the Senate? [View all]dawg
(10,697 posts)16. We actually have a chance to win *twice* in Georgia. Vote Warnock!!!
Please, Georgians, do not split our vote in the special election for Johnny Isakson's old Senate seat (currently held, due to Governor Kemp's appointment, by Kelly Loeffler). Only the top two vote-getters, regardless of party, will proceed to the runoff. And if Democrats waste their votes on Matt Lieberman or one of the other Democrats on the list (other than Raphael Warnock), we could end up with a runoff election between Loeffler and Doug Collins.
On the other hand, if Warnock does make the runoff, he stands a pretty good chance of winning. The Collins and Loeffler people are at each other's throats right now. The losers in that fight may not feel all that motivated to show up for the runoff.
