Forgive me if this is a silly question, but how could so many ballots remain "uncounted" - where have they been hiding? If I remember well, one of the cases are ballots that were not counted and , in the other case, were counted, but never added to the total. |

I thought there was an automatic recount going on here, or has that already been done?

In Georgia, at every election, they "audit" by hand one statewide race (picked by the Secretary of State) to see if the counting machines worked properly. Thi sis not a recount, in fact, the proclaimed results were the ones of the first machine count, not the count by hand. |

Certainly a risk from Trump's behaviour. His attacks on the Governor and Secretary of State, while tentatively (understandably!) endorsed by the candidates, will be disrupting the GOP campaign. He's also so self-obsessed that I doubt he'll play much of a role in the campaign - he's been absent so far. |

Invoking MLK, eh? I wonder what the man himself might have had to say about that.

The Senate polls given on RealClearPolitics seem to show a slight trend towards the GOP.

To be honest I would have been amazed if any polls showed anything different. I would expect either two GOP seats or maybe one each. It will certainly come down to who gets the vote out. The GOP in Georgia have generally done that in run-offs. But I suppose they haven’t faced a situation where one tweet could derail the whole campaign? |

Ossoff: 51
Predue: 46
Warnock: 52
Loeffler: 45

At least one pollster may have some explaining to do-again. To be perfectly blunt the none of the pollsters have a bloody clue what the turnout dynamics of this election are going to be. They can have the best methodology in the world but and will still get the result wrong if they don't correctly work out, I should probably say guess, who is likely to vote. This is partly why most of the major pollsters are avoiding this election like the plague. |
