Ga. Shocker: Warnock Beats Loeffler; Perdue Race Too Close to Call

Democrat Raphael Warnock edged ahead of incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler in one of Georgia’s two Senate runoffs on Tuesday, lifting the party’s hopes for retaking the chamber from the GOP.

Late Tuesday night, Newsmax and partner Decision HQ made the call for Warnock.

Jon Ossoff, the Democrat seeking to unseat Sen. David Perdue, picked up more than 112,000 votes from DeKalb County outside Atlanta, narrowing the incumbent’s lead to about 3,000 votes. About 95% of the vote had been counted.

The two Georgia runoff races will determine control of the U.S. Senate and the fate of President-elect Joe Biden’s agenda and inspired record-breaking turnout and intense national interest under the specter of President Donald Trump’s push to overturn his Nov. 3 loss.

That Newsmax article sounds just like CNN.

I guess Newsmax has gone over to the dark side, too.

She was a weak candidate, and a carpetbagger from Illinois.

It is a shame, but what did people truly expect. Murphy’s law is in full effect

We used the came voting system.   With nothing changed, how could it be a shocker to anybody!?!?!?!

The same algorithms were available this time around as the last.

All the useful idiots shouted for a so called "paper ballot."   And they got a paper ballot that was printed at a voting station and immediately scanned into a vote aggregator!   Good Grief what lunacy!   Idiots, the minute they scan it into a counter or aggregator, it becomes manipulated data again.   This isn't Rocket Science, but it is Computer Science and therefore beyond the comprehension of most citizens or politicians.   Damn them all to hell indeed!

I went through the motions because, what else was I going to do but...?

The Dems have been able to consolidate their power around Georgia’s major cities. Once a Dem U.S. Senate is able to eliminate the Electoral College, they will be able to consolidate their power in a few populous states where they can carry the popular vote. With elections cheating, that would make it easier.

Good job, Georgia. You suck.

This was entirely a failure of people with an (R) after their names. People don’t like Democrats. They’re winning by default.

Two months ago we had these races in the bag and then Republicans accomplished the impossible and screwed things up so soundly. McConnell and Trump both did this. I hope Chuck Schumer sends a fruit basket to Lin Wood and Sydney Powell.

Are you insane!?!?!?!

We had nothing in the bag!   The Democrats and GOPe useful idiots cheated the first time around and did the same thing with the same Dominion Voting Systems this time!

Trump did nothing to deserve the Georgia GOP Senate defeat. I believe it was McConnell’s defeat of the $2000 stimulus money. Voters in Georgia believe the GOP stabbed them in the back. Trump with supernatural powers could not fix that mistake.

Georgia must be proud to be sending the cream of the crop to Washington.

INVOKE THE INSURRECTION ACT!!

The left has colluded with CCP to overthrow our duly-elected government.

Declare martial law, and hold re-votes in those areas where all the fraud and cheating occurred.

Bring in armed federal poll-watchers.

NO Dominion fraud machines this time.

Count the votes and publish the results. Let’s see who wins this time.

DO IT TRUMP!!! You and the nation will never have another opportunity like this. Support the Constitution, and the U.S. Citizens!! You’ve been with us (and we with you) all this time, don’t let us down now, and we will stay with you, too.

Yeah, that idiotic thinking worked probably just enough to give us this result.
