Hold on people it’s gonna be a blue wave, that’s the reddest county in Georgia.

Yeah, but the republican vote was split by multiple candidates.
The runoff election will not be a democratic win.

Not that exciting when you understand that the Republican vote was split between a lot of candidates. In the runoff, the Democratic candidate will have a hard time winning.

Because there were like a dozen republicans getting votes and basically 1 Dem. I get you want enthusiasm for Dems ahead of the midterms but let’s actually make claims based in reality.
This is a GOP +30 district. A district so red Dems have gone multiple cycles not even running candidates. The Dem is wildly over performing based on the primary results which means a runoff might be close than in past years but 30 point swings are wildly unlikely. If the Dems can even make this race within single digits we won’t need to worry about a blue wave we would be having a flood making the biblical story look quaint.

More and more it seems that articles like this are meant to frustrate Dems and get them not to vote. The majority of people are just going to read the headline, think the Dem candidate actually has a chance (plausible, but unlikely given the fact that there were at least three Republican candidates on the ballot) and then become even more jaded about the futility of voting when the Republican candidate wins.

Mods, do us all a favor and just ban absolutely horrible, misleading posts like this.
The reason a Democratic candidate came in first is because this isn’t the kind of election where the Democrats and Republicans put forward a candidate and you maybe have a couple of independents, it happened because just everything gets to be on the ballot, so the vote is split among multiple candidates. There’ll still be a run-off on April 7th and the Republican candidate is likely to win by like 20 points.

We can only hope the republicans don’t have birth certificates or passport. Oh sorry Trump hasn’t passed that insane bill yet.

I would hope a house cat gets more votes than a Republican in MTG’s old riding at this point…
