Warnock 51.4% to Walker 48.6% with 99% reporting

[Kennah]

As I think about all of the voter suppression efforts, this is an even much larger victory.

3. OTOH, there were still over 1.7 million deplorables voting in the state

while en route to somewhere in a very large handbasket.

4. Closer than it should have been but still a big win!

5. It's very depressing to know I live around that many morons

that would vote for someone like Walker.

6. it should have NEVER been that close.

I am glad Warnock won, but it is really distressing that a POS like Walker was even that close to man like Warnock. While I am NOT comparing either man to the following, it looks like Santa 51.4%, Krampus 48.6%. I mean, what the actual FUCK?!

7. Warnock, the Georgia Warewolf Hunter

8. Warnock is elected senator another 6 year while Walker will be busy tonight with that full moon

9. In November Warnock win by 37,000

So he easily outperformed over last month.

And yes, Walker was a totally unacceptable candidate. But he is also a sports folk hero in Georgia. And although he’s obviously not smart, and we saw all of his gaffes and character flaws, he did have some appeal to voters. Walker did have a folksy way of teaching his voters and he was able to recite most of the right wing talking points that get Republican voters to the polls. Weaker candidate overall, but I’m not sure many Georgians would have done much better.

Warnock for 6 years out of red Georgia, this are the things that help Dems hold the Senate.
