    But that's not the point.... they WERE at some point in the evening.. therefore, any change after that is fraud or a steal.

    I went to bed shortly after the DeKalb dump and a few adjustments, and Ossoff was still down 1K, but I felt pretty good based on the outstanding...

    Same bitching from the Republicans: "we were winning at the half, how could we possibly have lost the game at the end?"

    You got it right! I was a bit surprised that Ossov was leading by 16000+ votes when I dragged myself into the great room this AM to the tune of my wife telling that I lost my touch I both both predictions wrong. Then she reminded me that Insaid Trump would by slim margin.

    I was wrong. I woke this morning to find that both dems had won through. Recount re:Ossoff, but he is far enough ahead that any small irregularities will not be enough to change the outcome. And yes, there will be those in power who will rail against the result and try to block it, but they will be unsuccessful. Oddly enough, a champion of the election result, determined that we follow the constitution, is majority leader Mitch McConnell. Goes back to what I have been saying. There is a hell of a lot more that unites us than divides us. As soon as we all realize that the other side is the opposition and NOT the enemy we will be the better for it.

    I thought the same on election night. Just felt too much like 2016. Then I fully expected to lose both senate seatslast night. Sometimes I love being wrong!

    But you are a Democrat right? I am tegistered. Republican Non Trumpocity fan who is looking forward to a restored classic Republican Party. Twenty something years ago I was a Conservative Democrat but with that party being AOCized and flirting with Comrad Bernie every 4 years I will not go back.

    Looked rigged to me. With 95% in, Perdue was leading by 3%, and Loeffler by 2%. Then in a bat of an eye, it jumped to 99% in, with Perdue tied, and Loeffler behind. At which time they closed for the evening; having fabricated enough votes to assure a Dem win for both.

    Technically, last night, they were probably winning 5 minutes into the 4th quarter...

    Right now the opposition is opposed to democracy.

    When I went to bed both dems were winning. You realize the world doesn’t stop when you’re snoozing right?

    Wanna know why republicans lost?
    Ask yourselves who trump attacked more in the last 2 months, Ossoff and Warnock or the governor and SOS.

    Sure, but by one posession in a high-scoring game.

    Exactly right. No one can really say how much he depressed Republican turnout from what it could have been, but Trump and his legal team spent two months telling their supporters how rigged they thought the election process is. Hell, Powell was saying that Republicans should make a point to not vote, because she thought it would reveal her crazy theories about Dominion to be true. It would be ridiculous to think their lunacy didn't have a tangible effect on the results.

    God doesn't check on all the elections, but when He does, He decides who he wants to win.
    End of story.

    100% wrong. This country is divided beyond repair. Half the country loves American values, while the other half wants a One World communist government. Civil war is coming and there's no stopping it. Nor should there be.
