Am I the only one who has a problem w/ a guy being able to run in a district they don't even live in; hell he can't even vote for himself

Why? I predicted it'd be Ossoff vs Handel in the run-off.
But considering 2 months ago nobody even considered he had a chance to make the run-off, that's hardly disappointing. And gives 2 more months to ramp up gotv efforts while Handel reminds everyone how useless she is.

These are not early votes. This is in person voting. Ossoff is shattering Hillary's numbers

Fulton isn't reporting at all yet, and the SoS site is buckling.
Also, our voting machine system is stupid and slow to report, especially in populated urban or semi-urban areas. We see it every election where Atlanta reports last.

Ossoff worked for and advised a guy that thought Guam was capable of tipping over. Says all I need to know about him.

This dude looks like such a douchebag. How can someone vote for a democrat, supposedly running on Republican values, unless you're an old school democrat, but even then you should realize he's lying and he's a new style dem.
IDK, lots of Republicans just voted for a guy that espoused a lot of rhetoric that sounded pretty indistinguishable from a certain strain of leftist rhetoric: major government spending on infrastructure, UHC, protectionism both economically and militarily, and a willingness to protect gay rights.
If Trump and Bernie showed anything this election, its that a lot of the assumptions about what voters respond to, what they want, what they are willing to look past, and where their acceptance/aversion standards lie with candidates and positions, is not in the places we thought they were for some time.

>45%, with the total Democratic vote (or non-Republican) being >48%.
Once Republican voters aren't voting against Ossoff (every ad that wasn't pro-Ossoff was anti-Ossoff, almost none were pro-Republican Candidate X), turnout will drop on that side. Turnout shouldn't drop much at all for the Democrats, since they're already voting for Ossoff (and against Trump).

I don't know the technical answer, but this is a state that took until almost midnight election night in November to finalize their counting.
Much later then other states with much closer voting and later poll closings.

(Not fun) #GA06 fact: Poll workers have to collect and drive memory cards from voting machines to county offices. Takes time.

Counting slowed down by Feds snooping around the computertrons.

Does this make up for November?

I think people should look at party turnout as the results come in.
In Kansas Democrats retained 70% of their numbers of the November election. Republicans only 38%.
If you are a Republican I would be crunching the numbers quickly once a few counties get in to see what that breakdown is. If the breakdown is similar to Kansas, there won't be a runoff.
If, however, Democratic turnout is not as great, or Republican turnout higher then usual, a runoff is all but guaranteed.
In that scenario, Republicans better not end up in a situation with a government shutdown, because shite like that is what I think can lead to Ossoff winning that runoff as congressional dysfunction will likely lead to Republican voter apathy.
