Georgia 6th Congressional District (GA06) Special Election- Primary
Decision Desk HQ ^ | April 18, 2017

Posted on 04/18/2017 3:08:04 PM PDT by SMGFan

The most competitive special Congressional election yet has arrived, and we will be providing returns live tonight right here. In addition to our district-wide totals, we will be analyzing county and precinct level returns. For the Democrats, the hope is that Jon Ossoff can pull out an outright win tonight- if he gets over 50% of the vote in this crowded field, he’s in as the district’s new Representative in Congress. If he falls short, then he will face off against one of four likely Republican opponents in a runoff on June 20th: Karen Handel, Bob Gray, Judson Hill, or Dan Moody. Polls close at 7pm and we anticipate at least early vote tallies to begin rolling in shortly thereafter. Refresh this page for the latest results tonight out of Georgia.

Well, it has been that way for over 200 years. This is not new information and is not the first time this has happened. We have managed to survive over 200 years with a candidate running and not living in the district, so yes, I am OK with it.

FWIW, Nate Cohn is projecting Ossoff at 48%, should be a runoff.

Dave Wasserman has projected Ossoff falls short of 50%. Heading to a runoff. https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/854507031465791488

I’m predicting Ossoff ends at 47% today and 44% in the runoff.

Here’s what it looks like:

Early vote was very heavy for Ossoff. With maybe half of the election day vote counted, Ossoff is down to 54 percent (per DecisionDeskHQ). If remainder of the election day vote is similar to what’s been counted so far, I think Ossoff falls below 50 percent. Ossoff showed 40 to 45 percent in pre-election polls. I think he outperforms the polls, but still goes into a runoff.

I was wrong. I think you’ve got the full state.

I seemed to have pulled up Cobb County solely.

Sorry about that.

His tweets also energized democrats. It cuts both ways, and in addition, Trump personally made it about him with those tweets.

You are looking at COBB County only.

I should know better than to get on these threads so early.

AT 8 pm on election night, I was sweating bullets.

Those early returns from Ohio and NC just about gave me heart palpitations.

Yes, I noticed that too, too late.

I asked to have that post scrubbed.

Don’t want to mislead folks.

Thanks for the mention.

My husband temporarily lived in Alabama at the border with Georgia but worked right across the state line in Georgia. He lived in Central time and worked in Eastern time. So, at the border the time changes.

32% reporting.

Hard Left Democrat leads by 53.9%.

Everyone stay calm.

Trump is a political demi-god.

If the Democrat wins, it is only because Trump willed it, and we are stupid to understand Trump's brilliance.

The early votes are done, the Election Day votes are going to kill Ossoff.

Just like how Hillary was looking great in early voting, but got clobbered in Election Day voting and lost key states.

I’m hearing 48. I’d be wrong (good) cuz he would lose runoff (very good).

NYT now agrees with you:

Live Analysis by Nate Cohn

Based exclusively on the 41 ~completed precincts: I'd guess we're on track for 190k, Ossoff at 48. A real MoE on both.

Yeah...it us,a,short distance to cross over to the central time zone...

If your heading west on I 20 it will take you about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to reach Alabama. Depending on speed and traffic.

Heading south on I 85 it also takes 1 1/2,to 2 hours from downtown Atlanta to get to Alabama.

I think the tweets by Trump were a tremendous mistake; he made it a referendum about him which drives even more Dems to the polls in what essentially should remain a local election. Ignore the little fool Democrat running on jane fonda’s money, don’t put him on your level.

43.7 is my guess for the Hollywood pick.
