Nope. GA 6 one of the most educated districts in the country. SC 5th one of the least.

If the Repubs keep control of the Senate then probably he won't be effective. GL with all that. No matter who wins this is all about getting good publicity
Dems need turnout to be high and people that held their nose and voted for Trump last November to vote Ossoff now (or just not vote at all).

Russia might have introduced some efficiencies into the process. They probably had the final votes tallied weeks ago.

NYT has some interesting statistical extrapolations and also mentions whether votes from election day (vs. just early voting) are being counted yet: https://www.nytimes.com/elections/re...recast-section

Not sure if slowponied but of Americans top 15 most educated districts, Georgia's 6th district is the only one which is Republican. Though the real surprise is a Republican district made it at all.

Ugggh, this is just like looking at the Florida map on election night and realizing that the remaining votes just aren't likely to get there.

Edit: and on top of that now I have to deal with a dead ****ing pony
