    Compared to November? Of course it is...

    Compared to previous Special Elections in Ga, no way...

    P.S. It's Ossoff and Warnock...

    From the way it was explained earlier, by MSNBC's Steve Kornacki, each county has its own way of handling the counting. As more than half of the vote is now being reported, a significant amount of that should be same-day. The trends look very promising for Dems. Below is my post from 25 mins. ago, before I saw this thread.
    MSNBC EXIT POLLS LOOK VERY ENCOURAGING FOR DEMS OSSOFF & WARNOCK!

    1) Dem county margins for the 2 Senate candidates are generally exceeding Biden's margins over Trump from the general election.

    2) Turnout for the Dem counties roughly as high as, or higher, than in November.

    3) Northern, Republican stronghold counties showing lower turnout than in the general election. (Also, in some stalwart Repub counties, the margin for the Repubs, at this point, shows some erosion).

    Obviously, they need them both. for control.

    That said, I would rather win one (than lose both).

    At 51% in we were down by 6
    At 59% we are down by 2.

    So that's two thirds of the gap picked up with 8% more of the vote and 41% to go.

    The spread is closing. But Kornacski on NBC said that Atlanta metro is not in ALL in yet. Most is in I assume.

    Pretty clear that both Republicans will win. Like I was saying in another thread, the blue lead is narrowing too fast and they're still counting mostly early voting. In minutes the Republicans will pull ahead.

    Which in the GOP mind will justify their blind loyalty to Trump

    The best part of a double R victory will be watching Trump's head explode when he once again realizes how unpopular HE was....

    At the risk of repeating myself; Trump's loss was Trump's fault, and not a statement on republicans in general.

    Both republicans have this, which is good for the country. If we could always have a split Congress, this country would be far better off.

    Personal preference is the WH and House are same party, with The Senate as opposition.

    It appears we will get that.

    The Dems are toast. Just by the early voting dropping by 10%, the Republicans pretty much erased their advantage. 8% more of expected drop, there is just no way the Republicans won't pass ahead.

    GOP 52, Dem 48 will be the Senate count.
