Atlanta is ALWAYS one of the last to report, so is Gwinnett Cty, and the other larger counties around Atlanta. It's those counties that have the most Dems.

Give it time. It still feels good to me.

FWIW, When we voted today there were a lot of Black voters and young people coming in. That's not what I usually see in our voting place. I saw that as a positive.

I'm pleased to see several counties in central and west GA went for Nunn.

I had high hopes for Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter. I hate to see Nunn lose to that jackass David Purdue.

and be way ahead in every race and then see your lead shrivel all night as the big cities come in, or a Democratic supporter and start off way behind and then try to pass them at the finish line. Angina inducing either way I think.
