It's also 70 miles long and includes the bulk of the city of Atlanta, so don't assume county-level data matches district-level results.

You think those are the top issues in voters minds? Laughable.

All of Fulton county isn't voting though.

I'm showing 50.7%
100% Dekalb in
88% of Cobb (machines stolen) in
16% Fulton in

Ossoff back up to 50.4 but that's all of DeKalb

The 6th only voted for Trump by 1%. You clearly don't live in Metro Atlanta. Probably some podunk woman. The demographics of the 6th have been steadily changing, as have most of the greater metro Atlanta counties.

This is horrible news for the GOP. No doubt. How much did Price win this district by?

True.... But with it being it's the largst still out, it's the only place that can put him past 50%

The county that will decide at this point, Fulton. Only 16% reporting.
Fulton County is one of the most reliably Democratic counties in the entire nation, having voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1876 except that of 1972, when George McGovern could not win a single county in Georgia.
2016, 68.99% voted dem, 27.35% voted Republican.
Isn't that the beauty of gerrymandering though? Since Fulton is currently carved up and only a part of it resides in the 6th if I am not mistaken?
So while the overall county is blue, the way it is carved up meant that Hillary narrowly lost in that county in November.

Interesting....
100% of Dekalb...
96% of Cobb...
still only 16% of Fulton. Are we saving that for a "surprise?"

so for someone just tuning in... what's the tl;dr version of what's gone down tonight?

Based on the splits of stations already in compared to the benchmark Ossoff would need to win, he's trending toward 48.7% with about a half % either way.

It was rated R+17 by Cook until about a month ago.
Clearly you're misinformed as to the lean of the 6th.

Ossoff overperformed some overall, but runoff likely. High expectations of last few hours probably means he starts runoff with some bruising.
Handel is a shitty candidate, but a well known one. Her being a woman could cut either way.

horse shite, $8M to get what the bitch got?
When there is another regular election the usual people will show up and this district will be like it always has.
recounts!
Hamilton electors!
Kansas!
Georgia!
Dems keep pushing horseshite narratives over and over and not one has happened like they said.
They just go one to the next one.
If they ever hit on one that will be the one that really truly without a doubt most assuredly means something!
I wish I could visit an alternate universe where the God damned media isn't North Korean style shills for the dems, just to see how that works.

Just the usual...
Voting machines stolen.
Fulton extends polling hours (that's the largest Dem hold in the race).

Then he should have said that instead of trying to minimize the fact that he doesn't live in the district.
