First results from DeKalb gives Ossoff a narrow lead. Ossoff currently has 50.3% over Handel's 49.7%Ossoff won early vote there by 20 pts.

Handel is going to win because the early  vote results came  in first and it was only  58k-56k for Ossoff. She will win by  4-5%. And  i do care if she wins because  i want tax cuts  pushed thru this year and  if she loses reps will be petrified to do anything.

The Dim's put everything they had in this race to take this seat. They are probably already in meltdown mode. Win or lose when this is over we really need to take a really close look at just who voted. In their push to take this seat could they have tried their ol' ballot stuffing voter fraud? A 20% reliable congressional district should not be running this close! :popcorn: :popcorn:

Got me, I know next to nothing about Georgia, haven't been there since 72.

The establishment is worried though. :biggrin:

QuoteGeorgia Special Election Has Republicans Wondering About Midterm Cash

GOP operatives say they aren't overly alarmed by events unfolding in Georgia, where the most expensive congressional race in history is afoot. But they realize Democrats are raking in small-dollar donations at an impressive pace. And they hope the threat of losing the House in 2018 keeps their contributors writing checks.

No, you dumbass.  This shouldn't have even been a race.  Whoever the GOP nominee was should have just started packing up for DC the day after the election.  Instead, we got into this runoff.  The Trump candidate got trounced in the primary, with 90 other GOP candidates, so don't pee on me and tell me it's lemonade.

After this race, which is a heavy GOP with lots of conservatives, a lot of GOP sphincters are going to tighten up for 2018.  Even though handle won and Trump will spin it as a win, it's a huge statement against him.

With all the dim activity and money spent, as close as it is going to be, will the voter fraud task force look into the new voter regisered in the dim districts? They pulled all their tricks in this race including getting a judge to keep 2 polling stations open an extra 1/2 hour in a dim stronghold. Regardless who wins I would love to see an audit of the results!

It's one of those situations where she pulled away from a field of 17, and she barely won only because it's a red district because enough were scared of the Dem, and enough Dems didn't vote because the guy didn't even live in the district.

I guess this is the GOP's new playbook.  Dilute the GOP field until the RINO outlasts everyone else because of name ID (Handel was GA SoS), knowing they'll squeak by because enough scared conservatives pull the trigger.

That's what I said earlier, they hire a bunch of candidates to water down the ballot so the actual Conservative hasn't a chance, making their choice a shoe-in, just as we saw in so many other races over the last four years.
I warned about the Handle ticket when the voting first started, that the gop'E had flooded the ticket for a reason, because it works.

It will be interesting to see if it works in balanced districts in 2018.  They need a scary boogyman to run against.

A whole 5.2% in a deep red district where she should have trounced him.

Im delighted. Won by  4.2% more than trump did  in 2016 even though the coverage of him has been the most negative  in history. Dems 0-6 now. One thing that seems to be going  unnoticed tonight. This race wasnt a toss-up as many predicted yet the SC race was closer than expected. Perhaps all the attention this race attracted motivated reps to vote.

I think its a  huge victory when you see that. Handel was out spent 21,000,000 to 3,000,000. Nice to see so much of hollywoods money down the drain.

Just feeling the joy....

I can imagine, the moment they go on break, cursing can be heard for at least a city block.

They should be high-fiving.  Think how we would have reacted if a conservative barely lost in San Fran or something.  I don't think people really get how red Cobb County alone is.

Here's a good breakdown of GA-6.
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-georgia-6-special-election/
Quote
Exactly how red Georgia 6 is matters, both for forecasting who will win and for interpreting what the results of the special election mean. Yes, Trump barely squeaked by Hillary Clinton there, but most other Republican candidates — presidential and House — have done much better. Tom Price, who represented the district in Congress until he resigned to become Trump's secretary of health and human services, carried it by 23 percentage points in 2016. Mitt Romney beat Barack Obama there by the same margin in 2012. We know from past House elections that our best bet for measuring the political lean of a district is a weighted average2 of the last two presidential elections, with the most recent election weighted a bit more. By this weighted average, Georgia 6 is about 9.5 percentage points more Republican than the nation as a whole. (That is, if there were a tie in the national popular vote, a Republican would be expected to win Georgia 6 by 9.5 points.)

Wrong.  GA-6th is deep red.  All those ads did was annoy the district.  The question I have (as I'm gathering the data coming in) is if there was such a huge turnout in a very red district, then why did she only win by ~5%?  Why not the 20%+ that is typical in a red district that has been red for 40 years?

Lets finish that post, shall we?

Ossoff raised more than $23 million at of May 31, while Handel raised $4.5 million. But she enjoyed heavy backing from outside groups. Those independent committees spent about $18 million on her campaign, while outside groups spent about $7.6 million for Ossoff, according the the New York Times.

I don't know much about the republican so I won't comment on her being a RINO, This is a disaster for the democrats. They made it a national election, they spent 31 million dollars. They made it a referendum on Trump. They lost. This Jon Ossoff is the best the democrats have to offer? This smug Obama wannabe who doesn't even live in his district?

Living in that district, Grouchy Old Cripple had this to say (red added)....

Quote

Osshole loses. $25 million down the drain. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now he does not have to marry his girlfriend of twelve years or move into the 6th Congressional District. He can fade back into obscurity. The Dims are now 0-7 in special elections since Trump won. This was gonna be the one they would win. This was gonna be the template on how they could flip red districts and take over the House. Too bad for them. Good for us. Now they have to head back to the drawing board and figger out how to win the House. I know. Go further to the left. That will work. Go even more bat shit crazy. Stage more riots. Stage more assassination porn.

One thing that did help was the heavy rains in the southern part of the 6th where all of the parasites live.

http://grouchyoldcripple.com/2017/06/dims-lose-again/

I believe there are some 22 GOP seats the Donks need to flip if they want to take the House of Reprehensibles. Now they are $25 million poorer for potential donations, and at 7-0 are definitely resembling a farm team instead of major league.

Some here have labeled the winner as a RINO. She ain't a full-blown rat bastard commie, here, so take the win and hope for the best, eh?

As Taxed has stated this one question was indeed the "bitch slap". Handel carried Cobb County 61 to 39. Every time they tried to make headway with the republicans in Cobb Country with phone calls they got hung up on. When they went door to door in Cobb County they asked the democrat rep who was Ossoff going to vote for...? In that same conversation they expressed if Ossoff couldn't vote himself in such an important election why should we.

Also the commercials drove the republicans nuts with his ads. Some even expressed if Ossoff was so concerned about spending why did he spend 27 million dollars on a local campaign....? Have to admit close to 50 million dollars was spent on this election with 75% of it coming from the outside. Down in the deep South families can fight among each other, maybe to the extent of someone going to the hospital but when an outsider comes interrupting that fight well guess what you lose. IMO...all that outside money helped Handel more then it did Ossoff.

Also the democrats moved the goal post after the first primary. This also was a call for the republicans to storm the voting booths in Cobb County. See link below

http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2017/05/04/democrats-have-much-riding-on-georgia-voter-registration-lawsuit/

Now Ossoff did win DeKalb Country but he did not move the needle. He received the same amount of votes as he did in the primary. He won  DeKalb County 58 to 42 percent. Fulton County did their thing.

http://www.ajc.com/news/ga-6th-district-election-results/

IMO....Ga-6th was a binary choice once again. Ossoff is a Lyin' big government spending democrat that will kiss Peglosi's ass all over Capital Hill. Handel is a big government spending republican that will kiss the ring of Ryan. She is a honest spend, spend, and spend some more republican. I'm glad she won but i'm super duper excited ....NO MORE DAMN CAMPAIGN ADS.....!

P.S.....Now most of you folks know I like to back up my statements with links. I heard this on the radio that the Ossoff had a hard time tapping into the millennial voting base because they couldn't get in touch with them because they live in the basements of their parents......LOL

True, but we don't have that problem as much as other areas. It's a district where the Republican gets >20% and trounces the Dems.  I'm just saying the margin should have been a lot more.  I feel a little better about it today after gathering more info because it seems 2018 is going to be bloodier than the last few elections.  Ossof had to run to the right in GA and make himself sound like the next Reagan while he ran against Trump nationally and took money from the San Fran, NY, etc.

Except, it wasn't. The biggest influence on the election result was the wildly inflated spending taking place. Ossoff, aided by a flood of money coming from out of Georgia, spent a record $22.5 million. This flush campaign chest meant that his campaign resembled a military operation, and with it he enjoyed a wildly imbalanced advantage over Handel in many crucial categories:

ADVERTISING

Ossoff: $11.2 million

Handel: $1.3 million



CAMPAIGN STAFF

Ossoff: 170 members

Handel: 14 members



POLLING/FOCUS GROUPS

Ossoff: 1.7 million

Handel: $374K

How sad is it when you can no longer buy votes, I read their spending came to about $83.00 per vote, so breaking down by eliminating the real votes they didn't pay for, that comes to nearly a grand per illegal vote, and they still lost. :biggrin:
