Yeah there has just been a fairly big swing in that race with some numbers coming through from Cherokee County

Lol CNN just reported the latest results as 51%-50%

I've noticed that the heavily Democratic districts around here tend to come in first.

Handle seems to be widening the gap slightly, 50.7% to 49.3% with 20% reporting. Still close though.

So what?

I am tired of people like you who demands percentages must equal 100.

Only a Russian would do that.

You have been outed Comrade!

Like I said earlier, a Democrat winning in SC an/or GA would be the kick in the pants that Republicans need.

Mulvaney was the first GOP Congressman to win that district in 128 years. Losing that district to the Dems wouldn't be any significant indicator based on history. In fact, if the GOP manages to win it, that would actually be a much better barometer of just how inaccurate the "Dems will pick up big seats in 2018" pundits are.

The big prediction needle at the NYT is steadily projecting Handel as the winner.

Guess they learned their lesson after the Hillary embarrassment.

Considering the ridiculousness of common core math, we should be thankful they're not reporting the results as being 51% to pork chop%.

There is bad karma to be paid.

Really? Well then, what did you do get Trump as a President, if you believe in Karma? If you believe in Karma, Trump must be the epitome of someone who deserves good Karma. So much in fact it would seem that he was born with it.
Karma. It always has a way of biting you in the a$$.

Karen Handel (Republican) 51.3% 77,588
Jon Ossoff (Democratic) 48.7% 73,610

No its the results so far district wide.

This is over-hyped. The conservative candidate will win this southern election.

Everybody knows one another here and vocal about politics. They aren't angry because I'm a democrat. They are angry about immigrants and abortion. Which neither is a problem in Idaho so its laughable almost.

Or maybe, just maybe, they are the kind of people that care about the rest of the nation. Not everyone is trapped in their own little world.

Democrats called this a "must win", which is why they poured so much cash into Ossoff's candidacy.

""SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Democrats are closer than they ever could have imagined to winning a House seat in the Republican suburbs of Atlanta, and dealing a resounding blow to Donald Trump.

But they’re also gripped by anxiety about what happens if they fall short Tuesday.

A loss in Georgia’s special election here could leave the party demoralized, with little to show for all the furious organizing, fundraising and spending in a handful of congressional special elections in the early months of the Trump administration.

As a result, Democrats are now straining to throw everything they have at Georgia’s 6th Congressional District to push Jon Ossoff over the top against Republican Karen Handel, aiming to prove they can win the suburban districts that might pave the way to a House majority in 2018.""

Star. I got a good laugh out of that.

Convenient, yet predictable, dismissal of an election. As I already said, if the GOP wins SC05, that's only the second time since the 1880s that a Republican will have won the district... if anything appears to be over-hyped here, it would seem to be the media's narrative that the Republicans need to brace for some mythical voter backlash leading into the mid-terms.

Democrats have to win this one. They flooded Ossoff with the cash and revelled in his anti-Trump rhetoric.
Trump only won this district by 1.5% in the election...they saw it as a big chance to make a statement.

Still too close to call tonight.

Handel: 51.9%
Ossoff: 48.1%
39% reporting. Stick a fork in Ossoff; he's done.

SC looking red and done, too. Sorry Democrats.
