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.

Dave Wasserman‏Verified account @Redistrict · 15m15 minutes ago Fulton's slow count is adding to the fake drama on CNN. In reality, we've known tonight's #GA06 outcome for about an hour...oh well.

Yep, Cobb & DeKalb are now both at 100% reported, but Fulton has been sitting at 16% for more than an hour. Very.Strange.

Not strange. The Reps are imitating the Dems. They are holding back in Fulton County, a Rep County, to see how many votes they need. Sort of like the Dems in Philadelphia and Detroit.

50% + 1 vote is what he would need to win it outright. This is absolutely correct, I’m local, know the deal.

Well, that’s encouraging to hear. I wonder if he knows what he’s talking about.

That is absurd; its been four hours and they can’t count a few votes? What has Georgia become - a cesspit like Califorina??

Sean T at RCP‏Verified account @SeanTrende 3m3 minutes ago Cobb is now all in, along with DeKalb. Ossoff at 50.3%. All comes down to Fulton. Was 48.9% Trump, 46.4% Clinton in '16.

I swear following this thread all night feels like the election is being held in the Bermuda Triangle.

This is from the guy tracking it... Dave Wasserman‏Verified account @Redistrict 5m5 minutes ago More When you add it all up, total GOP vote in #GA06 could end up 1-2% ahead of total Dem vote, basically same as '16 presidential margin.

Cobb is done. Ossoff at 50.3% with 55k in Fulton County left. Our guess he gets 45%; needs 49. Seems small, but very hard.

This is the same conclusion that Dave Wasserman, House Chief at Cook Political Report, is drawing. Ossoff wins 48 percent of the vote, uncomfortably close and higher than projected polls but not enough to avoid runoff with Handel.
