Georgia senate runoff elections. Let’s debate and make predictions

That would trigger an automatic recount. Hopefully he will get past that, then Perdue would have to pay for a recount if he wants one.

That is the threshold for a recount, not a revote, so no, we won’t have to go through this again.

My concern as I noted is that McConnell is still Majority Leader until Ossoff is seated because the Senate will be 50-49 Republican until then. If there is a recount, he will be able to stall cabinet appointments.

Apparently, this election was rife with fraud, too: :rofl:

Not for long.

If a recount is needed, it shouldn’t take longer than a week. If all goes well this should be certified by the beginning of the next week at the latest. The military has until Friday for the votes to arrive, they should be counted within a few hours.

Just updated 4 minutes ago at WaPo’s tracker:

NY Times estimates still around 76,000 votes to be counted, but they lean heavily blue. They estimate a final margin of 1.1%, that’s surely recount-proof.

I’m guessing we’ll see another round of recounts no matter the margin with these clowns. Probably a dozen lawsuits as well. :smiley:

Stacey Abrams deserves to be on the $20 bill!

I won’t be one bit surprised if DJT orders someone, ANYONE?, by noon on 1/7, to arrest Raffensperger, Kemp and maybe Pence.

updated just now:

That’s news worth staying up for.

One thing for sure – Trump is going to go off on vindictive tirades for years against Raffensperger. In Trump’s ideal world, Raffensperger would be machine-gunned by four thugs just as he was sitting down to his linguine pasta alle vongole in a fine Italian restaurant. The thugs would then drive off in a 1931 REO Royale while Walter Winchell narrates.

I can’t believe this! It’s almost too good to be true. I’m superstitiously scared to be happy about it. OMG.

Goodonya America. At last the rest of the world can breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Does the pandemic end later today or after the President is sworn in? Because here in London it’s starting to get tiresome.

Just an update that Warnock is now 1.2 points ahead (the election was called for him when he was one point ahead). :slight_smile:

All the more wonderful now that I realize what an unprincipled sycophantic Trumpista Loeffler is. Hope she has a nice time in Washington trying to subvert democracy for the Orange Imbecile. Then she needs to hustle back home and look for a real job. Meanwhile, if she’s not doing anything else, she can run around shrieking about “election fraud”.

Kelly Loeffler doesn’t need a real job, or any job.

Good morning. Checking the news, here. Umm, Democrats control the Senate???

not yet. close. i’m very tired but i’m hoping for one more update.
