The fix is still in. This just is not believable.

If by fix you mean that a Christian minister is more appealing than a billionaire's entitled wife, then yes. I think I like fixing things.

Moreover, Democracy is working, even in heavily jerrymandered Georgia. Even repuglican observers and vote counters noted that the voting process was properly monitored. (Anti-democracy Proud Boy and QAnon cucks should remove Twittler's dick from their mouths already.)

Yeah, that must be it.

I guess Democrats control the Senate now? If Ossoff wins (and it looks like he's got over 50%): it's split fifty-fifty, and if Harris is sworn-in: she breaks the tie, and the Democrats can pass whatever laws they want — so long as they keep their party together, which is a big ask.

[–]Nemacolin[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

If she is sworn in?

If, when, whichever you prefer.

Oh, and the Democrats need to win both seats to get to 50/50 in the Senate. The Veep will them give them control.

These are certainly close races. I am surprised that at least some people split their tickets.

Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler to become the first Black senator in Georgia history, capturing one of two Georgia runoffs that will decide control of the U.S. Senate and shape Joe Biden’s presidency.

In the other contest, Democrat Jon Ossoff held a narrow but widening lead over U.S. Sen. David Perdue. If Ossoff prevails, Democrats will hold control of Congress when Biden takes office on Jan. 20.

National outlets projected Warnock’s victory early Wednesday, hours after he surpassed Loeffler in the vote total. Loeffler told supporters that victory was still possible, though most of the remaining uncounted ballots originate from Democratic-leaning counties.

Warnock, the pastor of Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, is the first Georgia Democrat to win a statewide contest since 2006, and his stunning victory was fueled by epic turnout from African American voters and strong support across metro Atlanta’s suburbs.

It came on the heels of Biden’s narrow November victory in Georgia, which made him the first Democratic presidential nominee to capture the state since 1992 and offered partisans a road map to winning a second round in January.

If it matters, the Drudge Report is calling it a Democratic sweep.

[–]oneinchterror 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)
