@saibh  It would be poetic justice if Georgia flips Blue with Biden/Harris,Ossoff,Warnock.. where will that leave Impotus's QANon queen Marjorie Greene, who won the 14th district..pretty much nullified. I certainly am praying that is so!!!!

@saibh

The republican party now is right wing extremist insanity(basically the US version of what ISIS is to Islam) and needs to just be put down. Im saying that a Lincoln Party conservative type group is needed. Something conservative to check the left and keep them from going off the rails but intelligent and moral with nothing extreme.

@mas1581 I agree. Legislating ideas and values, not radical ideology.

@mas1581 We have a friend that works on the Hill who implied that the "Lincoln project " Republicans must have turned out for Rump because aren't we are all staggered by the amount of Republicans who voted for the Orange cancer? Also implied that they got $ from gullible liberals to further the cause.  Not sure I agree with it, the video clips were awesome.  I am in the midst of a room reno so I am just popping in to say PA will be BLUE.  My guess is by over 100k if they keep counting,  and they WILL.  Our ballots had bar codes on them, with data linking registered voters.  Our ballots are super tracked with a massive paper trail.  Let the A-hole and all his sad minions waste their money and time recounting so we can all revel in watching him lose TWICE. Of the early voting 2.5 million ballots so far in PA - 1.6 million were to registered Dems, and 560,000 were for Republicans. I'm not sure what that includes, but that is what they are processing now. Plus Independents sent in around 200k.

In Georgia, Senator Perdue has fallen below the 50% cutoff to prevent a runoff election with his opponent Ossoff.  If that holds there will be two Senate runoff elections on January 5 in Georgia, and if the D's can hold those, it would put the Senate at 50/50 again.  That would put Ms. Harris in the position of being the deciding vote when needed, and since there would not be a majority, would force McConnell to share the stage with the ranking D member as co-leaders of the Senate.

Per CNN numbers, as of right now and with only three percent of the vote left to count, Senator Perdue has fallen below the 50% threshold, which means that both Senate races in Georgia will be runoffs on January 5, 2021.  As one analyst said there, Georgia is about to become the center of the political universe.

Mark Kelly (D) in Arizona has won the Senate!  

48 (D) to 48 (R) is the current number of the Senate.

Hooray!

Senate all comes down to the runoffs in GA. GOP will be up 50-48(counting the 2 ind caucusing with Dems) so if blue wins both they will have the majority, with Harris being the deciding vote.

    If you want to know why the polls were so off, I think the answer is going to be strategically targeted cheating by the Republicans. I believe that Donald Trump and his minions focused much of their cheating on states that had critical senate races. It's not an accident that Democrats could not win senate races in North Carolina, Iowa, South Carolina, Montana, or Maine. There was strategically arranged cheating in all of those states. Donald Trump no doubt has a nationwide network of people that will gladly co-operate in the cheating.

    One of the major cheating tactics used by the GOP was to cause the destruction or non-delivery of mail-in ballots. I believe that the GOP stole a good 4 or 5 million votes thru this method.
