Ah, I know... but one can dream.

At least I'm hopeful that Twitter will take shut him down after having to monitor and flag his tweets with disclaimers around the clock in recent months.

Predicting 78% chance of Warnock and 66% Ossoff currently.

78% for warnock
66% for Ossoff

These probabilities keep improving for the Democrats.

Nate silver said it is probable the Democrats take both.

Double

For all out futures, I hope so.

Wasserman is bullish on a 2-0 Dem sweep too.

Here's the story right now:

1. Black turnout looks, frankly, phenomenal.
2. Perdue/Loeffler are approaching Trump %s of the vote in a lot of deep red rural counties, but turnout there isn't anything special.
3. It's getting harder to see a path for either R, but esp. Loeffler.

MAGA country is also already blaming McConnell for not passing $2000 stimulus as costing them the Georgia seats. Of course it couldn't be Trump's self-inflicted turnout depression, nah can't be that.

I think the stimulus is huge. Both Warnock and Ossoff campaigned hard on it and moved left on the topic in the last week or two of the campaign. Exit polls seem to be reflecting that as well.

Stephanie Saul Just now

Gabriel Sterling, a Georgia elections official, said that the largest tranche of remaining uncounted votes is from DeKalb County, a heavily Democratic suburban Atlanta area.

[Dan02]

Dave Wasserman calls Warnoock.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Following Dave's tweets is basically just asking for non-stop "Say the line" memes. Man has a reputation to uphold.

1 of 2

Complete the sweep.

If results continue on their current trajectory, the Democrats owe PoC voters a major debt.

I mean specifically they should be thanking Stacey Abrams and letting her pick whatever role she wants in the party. Fair to say she has been the MVP of the Dem Party since her loss, and she will have a very strong legacy for everything she's done in Georgia.

I want this so much more than the WJHC gold.

... Maybe that should be obvious given that one is a game and the other has actual meaningful information, but it's a significant statement to me, god damn it.

I want both, and will see both outcomes as evidence of good prevailing against evil in this crazy world.

It’s possible this pandemic has adversely affected my mental health....

Really fun to game out what happens in 2022. Ossoff gets his seat for 6 years if he holds on tonight (which is great, since he's obviously the weaker of the two).

But in 2022, Warnock's seat is up again, as is the Georgia gubernatorial election. Let's assume Abrams runs again (as many expect her to). Warnock and Abrams would be an absolutely historic ticket for the Georgia black community. But on the other side, Trump has already promised to see that Kemp pays for not finding a way to give him Georgia. If there's a bitter battle between a Trump acolyte and Kemp, and the results of election day is special elections for both the senate and governor, a good chunk of Kemp's supporters or Trump's supporters might just stay home for the special election.

So what's the first thing Biden should do with full control?

Gerrymandering?
