(205,552 posts)As was said on MSNBC, there may be fewer Republican votes since they came out for the Midterms and voted a straight Republican ticket, but may not bother with the runoff.

(205,552 posts)One was for governor and the other was for the Democratic congressional candidate. I showed and voted in both, but turnout was so poor that the Democratic poll worker was reading a book when I showed up. Everyone at my polling place seemed glad to see me. And in both of those primaries, there was just a single vote.

(205,552 posts)They think it won't matter. Democrats, on the other hand, have everything to gain - and certainly want to keep Warnock, we all do! I spoke to the husband of a friend of mine the other night and I learned that he worked on Raphael Warnock's initial campaign - though he's from here in New York!
