Mail-ins coming in for dekalb shortly. Race should tighten. i hate mail in ballots - so easy to cheat

Simply not enough votes in Dekalb Co.  Best case for Ossoff:  40,000 new Dekalb votes, 16% advantage.  That comes to 7,000 votes rounded up.  He is already losing by more than 7,000.

I think Jeb would've gotten more done than Trump that's for sure.

More of the SOS we've been getting for sure!  Fortunately  not very many were in favor of that!

Dekalb County is complete
 Jon Ossoff    D    33,847    58%
Karen Handel    R    24,070    42%


Republicans received 6,000 more Dekalb votes than they did in April.  That is super.

Yep. It was unicorn polling saying Ossoff was +7. Then suddenly last week it was tied. And now he's -5 with most of the vote counted.

It was pure political propaganda designed specifically to try and drive the result!  Fortunately it didn't work this time!

Edit to add that in this case it may well have backfired and drove more republican votes to the polls than would have shown up otherwise.

I think it was mostly due to the fact the local Dems didn't appreciate an outsider like Pajama Boy.

Truly. THE very worst, most fundamental mistake you can make in politics is to not live in the district you're running in. Some states don't make you live there until you take office, and asshats like Osshoff tried to pull that stunt. Problem is people across the board consider it the ultimate slight, worse than even a carpetbagger.
