By my calculation, Perdue needed 13,470 more general election votes to pass 50% and avoid a runoff.  The Libertarian candidate received 115,039 votes (2.32%).

Biden can now get an activist AG confirmed & the senate can appoint some special prosecutors to investigate corruption, insurrection, insider trading, and other matters. We can fully staff and unshackle the IRS.

Now we can start actually addressing Covid as the serious problem it actually is.

Time to start unbuilding that wall.

Unbuilding the wall is a very bad idea.
The wall is needed to secure America's southern border.

Censor this post.  It supports the building of a racist wall meant to get racist white people's votes.  I'm offended.

Ossoff up by 16,500 with some more mostly Dem-area votes to count tomorrow.
That's more than Biden's 12K win over Trump.

Perdue ran a pretty despicable fear-mongering racist, anti-semitic campaign that embraced Trump fully.  I wonder if we'll hear more about who were the 18K who split their ticket and voted for Warnock and Perdue.

Looks like Kamala Harris is going to be busy.

Now that the great orange is leaving It would have been good to see some opposition to an expected liberal elite steamroll with agendas like open borders, free everything, a boycott of Israel, and putting veterans on the back burner, etc. Uncle Joe should concentrate on fighting the pandemic and a restore to normalcy.

New drug laws will secure the border faster than anything else.

The wall has done next to nothing about the flow of people.

Another true disciple of Trump spoke a bit before 3am:

Perdue campaign claims in new statement that they believe they won and will use “every available resource and exhaust every recourse to ensure all legally cast ballots are properly counted” — echoing Trump.

Loeffler's deficit is beyond 1%, let alone the under 0.5% threshold that forces a recount at the candidate's request.

Perdue's deficit is approaching the magic 0.5%, though it would have to increase by about 5800 votes.

Loeffler would need a reason or would need Raffensperger to do it because she asked. And for all that she would like to claim irregularities, there are no substantive reports of such. And the Secretary of State has absolutely no reason to do her any favors - and a favor is what it would be.

Perdue has two days from when the vote is certified to make his request, as well, but unless Ossoff gets those 5800 votes, the granting of the request is automatic - but no runoff has ever changed a result by anywhere near this size gap.

She blames pressure on the firm from the left.

The firm noted separately that they were engaged in no work regarding voter fraud and they were concerned about her involvement in the president's phone call with Georgia.

She can blame the pressure all she wants, but if she is acting against the best interests of her firm, as she concluded she was, then resigning does seem called for.

Pretty dubious behavior by China, as illustrated by their mealy-mouthed "explanation" of the issue.

Their policies were quite clear.
The voters could not have been under any illusion of what voting for them meant.
The American people elected them under the same system they elected Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump.
Now they have a mandate to implement their policies.

So, you want anyone and everyone who feels like it to be able to just walk into the country undocumented, unchecked, no identifying, no health checking, no background checking, no Covid checking etc?

Any chance Republicans get to fuck with Democrats - they will take it

This is what happened today in PA Senate.

Putting the party before the law and the country is un-American. So, as an American from a family who has resided in America since long before the American Revolution, I say fuck you, asshole.

[OliveOil]

Woohoo!   Ossoff has enough margin to weather a recount.   The people in GA who do election recounts and audits should all be getting bonuses and hazardous duty pay.

So deep south Georgia will be represented by an African American and a Jewish man. Somewhere in the bowels of Hell Nathan Bedford Forrest is weeping.
