Why all Warnock voters not cast ballots for Ossoff?

[Light63]

I am kind of baffled! If all of Warnock’s voters cast their ballots for Ossoff, both of our candidates would lead big!

1. *Bigly

2. Perdue is an incumbent and many of those extra Warnock votes would have gone Republican

if the candidate was a man .

4. My guess is there is a small but sizable independent/republican votes that dislike Loffler.

Her favorable/unfavorable was bad from what I heard. Perdue is more known and is more like a "normal" republican. Loffler was attacked by the other republican quite badly in the jungle primary and supporters of that republican candidate might not have voted for her. So they voted for Perdue and Warnock.

5. A couple of theories...

Perdue has a lot of name recognition in GA (I think his cousin was Governor in the past) and he was actually ELECTED to his seat. He's seen slightly more as a "Bush" Republican than a Trump Republican.

Loeffler was appointed to the seat, isn't from GA, hasn't really accomplished anything in her time in the Senate, and is seen more as a Trump Republican.

These are several theories I've heard floated tonight (not my original thoughts).

13. Yes, Sonny Perdue was governor of Georgia

He's currently Trump's agriculture secretary.

6. Probably independents who could back a more moderate candidate from the R side.

8. No, sexists who are willing to hold the woman accountable but not the White Man .

[NutmegYankee]

12. Quite likely. nt

9. I suspect people were voting against Loeffler more than anything

Loeffler is not from Georgia, was appointed, talked like a robot in the debates and didn't do much to deserve reelection.

I bet some moderate Republicans chose Warnock over her.

10. Several theories I read-

Warnock is from Georgia, went against an appointed incumbent who is a woman, not from Georgia. Also the possibility that Ossoff being Jewish may have had an impact. And Perdue is the incumbent.

11. Maybe less Rethugs cast votes for Loeffler...not more Democrats for Warnock.

Put the onus on the rethugs for a change.

Tired of it always being The Democratic Candidates fault.

Lets change the meme and start setting the message instead of always reacting to the other side.

14. Maybe it is Jon's age?

15. Kelly isn't a white man with strong legacy name recognition in the state
