1. What % total now? n/t

[W_HAMILTON]

2. See here:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/elections/results-georgia-us-senate.html

It's pretty much because Democratic areas dumped a lot of votes early, Republicans are dumping theirs now, but Democrats still have a lot left out there.

4. Not sure but this is unfuckingbelievable.

[Claustrum]

6. It's good to remember that democrats winning GA were not imaginable before 2020.

The state is still purple at best, or lean red. You would get laughed at if you said GA would vote for Biden and 2 democratic senators before 2020.

11. Yes, soooo true!

[mobeau69]

15. Yes but the opponent is a clinical moron.

[LisaL]

16. I think he got hit in the head with a ball one too many times.

[Claustrum]

17. If it was a "normal" republican, I am afraid Warnock would have had no chance at all n/t

[LisaL]

21. Well, then it's good he is not a normal Republican, no?

[Claustrum]

23. Of course it is. But people act all surprised that Walker is doing better than they expected.

It's been said for a long time that this is going to be a close race. And I am simply listing some of the reasons why. I sure hope Warnock would win and keep a seat for us. We need to keep the senate.

3. typical pattern...

Later we should see the flood of ballots from Atlanta.

[LenaBaby61]

10. True. There isn't a lot in from Warnock's stronghold yet.

[Polybius]

5. He's now ahead

49.3% to 48.9%. 55% reporting.

[iemanja]

12. Just switched back. it's going to be very close.

[Polybius]

14. Yay

Watching CNN now.

7. Currently, with 52 percent of the votes counted...

Warnock 51.7%
Walker 46.6%
Oliver 1.8%

[W_HAMILTON]

8. Yep, looks like a Democratic area just had a big dump.

Walker took a small lead, then Warnock jumped up like 2-3 points.

[msongs]

9. 5 pt lead and still over 50%

[LisaL]

13. Over 50 is good.

If not it goes to run off.

[Demsrule86]

18. ? No.

[Demsrule86]

19. Warnock is beating Biden's numbers...he may win tonight. Walker is not doing well...under

Trump numbers which mean he loses.

[Demsrule86]

20. Warnock is beating Biden's numbers...he may win tonight. Walker is not doing well...under

Trump numbers which mean he loses. We may have a runoff...but it is too soon to know.

22. Enough with posts like this!

You don’t run and create a topic like this every time you find something remotely significant.

[mobeau69]

25. Who are you? The topics police?

[BlueInPhilly]

29. Someone who's been here much longer than you

That’s who. When DU members did not feel the need to post their every thought. It’s getting tiring.

[mobeau69]

32. Good grief!

[Amishman]

24. likely going to runoff. libertarian is steady at 1.8%. Margin probably will be less than that.

So no one will get 50%

[Takket]

26. walker is pulling away... up by 37000 now. i hope there is some juice left to squeeze in Atlanta

[kansasobama]

27. It is looking scary

I don't know where the positive enthusiasm is coming from? I am worried. 83% counted and Walker 49.6%. Enlighten me.

[LisaL]

28. If nobody gets above 50%, it will go into run off.

[mobeau69]

30. Most of the votes to be counted are same day which favors pukes.

[Wavelight]

31. Still think it goes runoff.

From what I've read 4 counties with the highest % outstanding are the biggest Warnock counties.

[In It to Win It]

33. i think so too
