Georgia-6

Ossoff is leading at 53.9% with 32% of precincts reporting.

 This is looking good!

CNN is reporting he now has 53.9% with 50% of precincts reporting.

Obviously rigged.

NYT reporting Ossoff with 51%.

46% of precincts reporting.

ah - sounds like we're heading to a June election.

Now the fun begins.

Close, but no cigar. Is there any hope in the general?

From what I saw on TV this morning Ossoff got 48+%. Other Dems got a few votes so that the Dem vote was 49%. The Republican who won got 19+%.  So out of 51% voting GOP 30-31% voted for others than the winner, Handel. Handel is a long-time politician. She was the Establishment candidate. I would think that some Republicans who voted for other candidates don't especially like Handel. If just a small % flip to Ossoff or  stay home and he can keep his voters he has a decent chance.

While the National Democratic Party wants Ossoff to run as a Progressive challenging Handel as being Far Right and a Trumpist, because they want to raise money from the DEM donors, IMHO Ossoff ought to run against Handel as the outsider against the Establishment. He ought to paint her as a "Career politician" who is just looking for a stepping stone to higher office while portraying himself as a young citizen who will serve the interests of the people in the District.

it will all be about turnout again.  If the Democrats work the GOTV among their registered voters, they can win it.
