As in it just hasn’t been officially called?
Ossoff is ahead but there are still enough uncounted votes that it could change. There aren’t many votes left to count, tho.
Cool. Get some sleep, man!
CNN’s count as of now:
Ossoff 2,208,717 (50.19%)
Perdue 2,192,347 (49.81%)
Nate Cohn, the resident NYT election geek, expects the remaining absentee ballots, plus what’s left of DeKalb, to put Ossoff’s lead over the 0.5% mark which is the recount threshold.
Not until the afternoon of January 20, since we won’t have VP Harris’ tie-breaking vote until then.
But starting then, YEAH!!!
Once Schumer is Majority Leader, he should do one bit of mildly dirty pool that not a single voter would care about: he should install a Senate parliamentarian who will support whatever interpretations of the rules are necessary for Schumer to get done whatever he wants to get done - particularly what can be included in reconciliation bills.
In the likely absence of the filibuster (Manchin’s against repealing it), that could make a big difference.
Good news for Kelly* – you still have time left on the 30-day return window for all those poor-people outfits.
*Protip for spelling Republican senator names: It’s “Kelly” and “McSally”, each with two “L” s.
Wow… I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Warnock won. Anti-semitism, spousal abuse, child abuse…nothing matters if you are a Democrat. Georgia had a chance to have a successful female to continue to be a positive ambassador for their state but instead chose this hatemonger. My predictions were way off but nothing surprises me anymore.
Kelly Loeffler certainly earned her wealth in the traditional manner – she married her rich boss.
Not quite counting the chickens yet, but what happens if we ultimately do get the 50D/50R Senate, and a senator dies, or is unable to continue their term, during the next 2 years? Do they have to be replaced by someone from the same party? I know that in some states, the state’s governor chooses the replacement, cut are they bound to select from the same party?
Y’know, just tossing in a bunch of unsubstantiated bullshit accusations doesn’t work here on the Dope. We’re into backing up our claims here. Evidence, substantiation, logic. We’re big on these things.
The rules vary from state to state. Lemme dig up a link.
ETA: Gotta get to work, but here’s the National Conference of State Legislatures’ page on the subject, and here’s Ballotpedia’s page about that.
Love it.
Whom are you quoting? (Or is it original to you?)
Truer words were never spoke.
Hell yeah.
To whom are you referring?
Random twitter person. I only wish I was funny.
The fact that she got to serve and the fact that women got to vote were the results of progressive, not conservative, thinking.
And what’s with this “female” shit? Something wrong with “woman”?
Guess yesterday was “twofer Tuesday.”
