Everyone that I know in the 6th is voting for Ossoff. I live in the 11th so I don't have a dog in the fight, but the 6th isn't as locked up as it once was.


All the Ossoff signs just pinpoints every liberal in your neighborhood. I live in Brookhaven which is a mix of views. When you get into Sandy Springs, Roswell and Alpharetta/Milton, it's all Handel/Moody/Gray signs.

Unless the Buckhead elites were paid off by the Demos, Ossoff's chances are very slim.

What's the feeling? Do people think he'll get 50% of the vote? I have to think there are enough people in Johns Creek, Alpharetta, & Milton which won't allow him to break that threshold.

Not even close.

He'll get maybe 40-42% in the general, and then maybe 44-45% in the runoff.

He got A LOT of early voters because he fooled people with misleading ads acting like he was an anti-Establishment pro-Trump Conservative.

I grew up in that district and graduated from Sprayberry HS. My parents still live there. For a while a lot of people there had no clue Ossoff was even a Democrat because his ads were so deceptive.

It seems crowded at polling spots in Sandy Springs.


Just heard about a few Johns Creek locations that are packed, but seem to be pretty Ossoff-friendly.

Probably goes to a run-off (hopefully against Handel), but should be close.

Is it true that Ossof was running ads during conservative radio shows? Putting that Cali money to good use.

I don't get the point, but there are Ossoff signs in my subdivision in the 11th.

I don't think it's likely that he reaches 50%+1, but we'll see. Like I've said before, I wouldn't mind just so that the ads will go away.

I suppose. Part of my county is in the 6th so I guess that could be the case.

It's Atlanta; Liberal capital of the south.

I hope they receive bad news tonight.

I can't believe how far these cuck libs have fallen that they're pinning all their hopes on a 30 year old inependent filmmaker who lives in his mom's basement. Unreal!

The groundswell in Atlanta is mostly from people in the 5th who live in places like Reynoldstown, and a lefty independent filmmaker is pretty much the epitome of honor and virtue for these kids.

that was a huge complaint of mine when I went to tech. I was stuck with Lewis, and he wouldn't even have competition on the ballot. It sucked.

I had the same complaint about john warner when I lived in virginia.
