Aren't election officials in question from Shack’s perspective? Shack's theory seems to be heading towards "anyone speaking against Trump is wrong or enemy" and "Trump has a master plan which he has been hiding for months and it is so big that it will flip the election" (I'm guessing the second has never happened in the history of US elections)

Go Georgia!!

In previous elections you didn't have situations occurring on a regular basis where a candidate is up 3% with 91% of the vote in, and then tied with 95% of the vote in about 5 minutes, because a county that had stopped counting for 2 hours released half the county's votes at once with 130 thousand of them going to one person and 20 thousand to another, basically exactly enough to erase the lead. The early/mail in votes were actually supposed to come in earlier than the in person votes this time, except DeKalb froze at 40% so it still led to the mail in dump being later.

Perdue up 3% and Loeffler up 2% with 91% of the vote in would have looked like a win for the Republicans in any other election, except in this one it was actually already called for the Democrats at that point, because they knew full well what was going to happen. The only reason massive dumps with 90% Democrat votes after hours of waiting is considered normal is the mail in voting system which is awfully convenient for them.

It could not be more obvious frankly, and unfortunately for the Democrats, it would have been very obvious to Trump too who was predicting the first one let alone the second one where they had the exact same plan. That they expected him to just sit back and take it a second time in the same way is the type of thinking and misjudging of their opponent that will soon lead to their demise.

Isn't this election a little different where in more mail-in ballots are expected than usual? Maybe they "think" its that high of a % vote-count because of previous years but due to pandemic and more mail-in ballots this is happening?

Covid is a hoax so obviously the mail-in ballots are too.

Ah yes that's true

Trump has been a disaster for the GOP this election. This should have been a layup for the GOP, but Trump and Lin Wood have been sowing enough doubt in the election to get voters to boycott the election. Next he is about to ruin Pence’s career in the next two days and divide the GOP.

Expect Trump to get a ton of heat from Republicans over this.



Dude you keep getting this same point wrong. "With 91% of the vote in" - that number is wrong. In high turnout elections, its really 75-80% of the vote in, not 91%, and then that remaining vote goes heavily one direction, its enough Basic mathematics.

God. Time to pray.

So what will the Democrats try and pass with their control of all three houses?

Kale will be mandatory with every single meal. Straight couples are no longer a thing. If you say Merry Christmas, you go to prison for 100 years.

Stacey Abrams and the people of Georgia have saved DEMOCRACY twice the past couple months.
We can't thank them enough.

Bye, bye Trump!
Mitch "you have NO POWER here!"

Seeing people retweet his old 'nerd/geeky' tweets last night. Didn't know he was a Star Wars fan

Considering even one Democrat vote means the law won’t pass, honestly nothing too dramatic. Expect another stimulus check for sure though.

...or both Perdue and LOLffler are absolutely garbage candidates and incompetent politicians, Georgia has rapidly become a purple state thanks in large part to Stacey Abrams, and your boy Donnie's erratic behavior placed considerable distrust in voting in this runoff.

Love how it's only rigged when Democrats win, but everything is completely kosher if a Republican does.

You fool.

Typical BS not unexpected

No need, the Dem majority ensures no BS from GOP but is not big enough to pass anything truly nuts. There are moderate Dems who will keep the group uncheck. Remember Dems had more control with Obamacare bill and that took a Herculean effort to pass and used nearly all of the wildly popular Obama's political capital at the time.

Don't tell him that let them freak out to their gods.

Some are speculating Joe Manchin will now block the majority of Democratic policy from passing the senate.

Trump, and his absurd devotees, really screwed things up for the Republican Party. And they continue to do so now with his family, and undoubtedly his devotees and select Congress members, further attacking the Republicans who aren't supporting them and threatening to "primary" them in the future. And I expect this will become even more extreme after today since Trump has set Pence up for failure by telling his devotees that the VP has powers that he does not. A flood of hate is about to hit Pence (and the Republicans in general) for just doing their jobs.

I don't think Trump once attacked Warnock or Ossoff, or if he did, it was embarrassingly minimal. Instead, he opting to bully and attack the Georgia Republican officials for weeks. And McConnell, attempting to play political chess (which he is normally good at), made a mistake by not taking up the stimulus payment relief less than a week before the election. Stacy Abrams is getting a lot of deserved credit for what's happened in Georgia, but Trump, his devotees, and McConnell played nearly as much of a role in what happened in the runoffs.

Republicans, in the past, have almost always rallied behind each other and unified as a party (much moreso than the Democrats), and this has made them very difficult to beat. But now that the infighting is so severe, they're losing states and seats that they've held for 30 years.

I was about to post that name. He will be the Mirr Romney of the Democrats

That's not why they caught up so fast, 4% of the votes came in at once and the Democrats got like 87-88% of them. Which means they get about 3.5% of the 4% from 91% in to 95%. Perdue 3% lead disappears, Loeffler 2% lead turns into 1% deficit.

The Georgian (Republican) Election Official absolutely roasting Trump and his loonies in this news conference. "Democrats were out here knocking on doors and getting 100,000+ people who didn't vote in November to come out for a runoff in January, while Trump was out there attacking us and telling our voters their vote doesn't count." Paraphrasing a bit there, but yeah, exactly the point.

We’re entering worst case scenario for the GOP right now as the fight today is between GOP lawmakers only. This is a disaster and not one being overrated by the media for once
