Wernock has been declared by WaPo, Ossof is in the lead by about 3K
FAKE NEWS
guess that means ending the filibuster, adding SCOTUS justices and giving statehood to D.C and Puerto Rico just to give themselves the numbers

Biden doesn't need PA to get to 270
Democrats have Trump to thank for that:

He really did shoot himself in the foot there
Trump? ... yes he shot (figuratively) all the Republicans, some of them several times
meh, the country's weathered worse.
that's the hope, anyway
At least McConnell will get his comeuppance sometime soon, but he'll just wait for another opportunity as always.
https://voca.ro/1e976QE4oDoy this is also something that is up and super interesting!
No, it moves Biden from 306 to 286. If he loses GA the he loses 16 more votes. At that point if any other state has been nullified or switches then neither have 270 and we have a contingent election. Arizona is going to be contested pretty quickly. Georgia will absolutely be contested. Pennsylvania will also be contested. Just those Three states losing their electoral votes could trigger a contingent election.
@Britinvietnam, you just advanced to level 3!
I’m following the breadcrumbs
Called it, dems won both seats.
Hope the 'protest' was worth it.
It will be. All you GOP get to actually live in Atlis Shrugged now! 🤣
Except there will be no secret capitalist society for you to take a train to. 😁
At least I made a large sum of money on the bet I put on this runoff.
Amen 🤔 and Awoman to that!
McConnell really did screw the GOP here though, holding off on those $2000 checks but sitting okay with all that pork spending obviously told people they didn't want him leading the senate anymore.
So he really only has himself to blame for losing his majority.
Only himself to blame? Yeah right.
@Zuluzeit the CCP only needs one more senatorial seat to run the table.
@Zuluzeit our comrades are purging pro democracy bourgeoisie in HK, is long overdue.
Nup, they've got the majority.
After how Georgia republicans were jerked around, it was a real possibility. Luckily the two pub candidates were also scumbags. Everyone wins.
And no, it's not Mitch's fault.
It's Trump's fault and Lin Wood's fault. You can thank them.
Some members of state congress is not a "letter from PA". Like the PA GOP said the state congress has no authority over this without winning a court case which they haven't done. Whatever imagined state congress power they claim to have over choosing secondary electors at the very least obviously requires voting in Congress to actually do the thing.
Today is going to be nuts, this entire week is going to be nuts. Strap in for the ride, folks.
If you're a true Trump supporter you contest them all. Every state that Biden won you contest.
Trump is the President until January 20th and that means he has pardon powers until then. Expect two full weeks of mayhem "like no one has ever seen before" (that part in quotes is in Trump's voice, or at least that's what I hear in my head)
I mean Id love to blame Trump and McConnell but they only bear small responsibility.
Perdue was a lackluster candidate that skated when Georgia was solid red. He got his ass thoroughly kicked in debate and was so scared he didn’t show up to another debate and let his opponent run wild with no rebuttal. Loeffler is completely rich and out of touch and bribed her way into power. She cannot debate and did not have to debate or run a campaign when she bought her seat literally. She just showed up and delivered in a zero charisma robot voice the same ad hom attacks over and over. Both got insider info and sold stocks for profit and at the same time purchased medical stocks and lied to the public about COVID.
While they were not the only ones to do things like this these two on GA did the most of all 100 senators in this regard and not every senator was buying up medical company shares to profit off the disease and not every senator went out to lie about COVID spreading more disease. These two bear the brunt of this just like Hillary did and didn’t want to admit it.
I think you're wrong on that. Run off elections are about turn out. if turnout had been low the Republicans would have won easily. Trump energized the turnout especially for Democrats and his continued election fraud rant put off would be Republican voters. I do think Trump deserves a lot of credit for both his loss and the loss of the Senate for the Republicans.
