Fewer than 500 votes now separate Perdue and Ossoff. Feels like a horse race rounding into the home stretch

Are people in Georgia voting in both races at the same time? Or different places different candidates?

Senate races are statewide. When electing people to the house, different districts have different candidates.

The former. Each state has 2 senators. The latter would be the House where you elect a rep based on boundaries.
Cheers. Shouldn't the results be pretty much the same then? Strange that someone would vote Ossoff and Loeffler at the same time.

Hope Dems bulldoze through meaningful legislature and not try to work with the fascists if they win.
Doubt it though, with Biden at the helm.

Certain similarities but Warnock might get more of AA vote than Ossoff. Also Perdue is a longer incumbent than Loeffler who was appointed last year after Isakson resigned

Yikes, possibly 17k oversees ballots can be due as late as this Friday. Hope the Dems are up by more than 17k to not have to worry about it.
Same thing happened in Nov. likely most of those ballots will never be returned. They had to have been mailed already.

There's nothing you can do about that. That battle was lost the moment Sanders lost the nomination.

Now the only hope is to win the senate and give the centrist democrats as little excuse as possible to not deliver on the progressive agendas Biden promised.

For me the most immediate win if this holds is that Biden can get his cabinet in place really fast. I am...uh .... less than thrilled with a number of his choices, but having competent people in place in the middle of a pandemic and recession can’t hurt.

One of my favorite restaurants is Highlands. Bottega & Chez Fonfon, anything Stitt does basically. Hot & Hot Fish Club is also quality.
feck man! Hot and Hot was our go to place (and he trained under Stitt). He opened up a new place, Ovenbird, in pepper place. Actually, he moved hot and hot there too.

If you are ever back there try the Back 40 Brewing company by Sloth Furnace. They have the best burger I have ever had.

Yeah, that's a consolation, I guess. Any news on Biden's stand on net neutrality?
