Liberals feel as they do and nothing changes their vote. They stick together. Period. Independents are unstable and have no set parameters they believe in. Conservatives do really weird stuff. Take Ga. Kemp wins easily. Walker trails. Why? Look at the vote totals. Less votes for the Senate race. Why? Voters for Kemp left the Senate race blank. I saw some voters stating they didn’t know if they liked Walker or not so left it blank. How can a voter be that ridiculous as to do that? And as for a “poor” candidate like Oz, so what?? If you are a conservative you must vote for a candidate that may be less than you hoped!! Here in WV we are RED! I believe of all State Senate and House representatives there are only 12 Dems. Super majority!! Or we could expect decent candidates. I don't like dems but I'm not voting for clowns just because they belong to the republican party. Which is why your state has turned blue.

That said, this is all eerily similar to 2020 and you remember what happened then, right? Don't be shocked if GA doesn't come up with 0.49% more Dem votes before they declare a runoff. I thought the runoff was already declared for Dec. 6th?
Gotta live up to the nickname...

I thought the runoff was already declared for Dec. 6th? I've been trying to clarify that since I read your post but I'm not seeing anything official. The runoff would be on the 6th but not seeing where it's been officially declared yet?

It's the mindset of most of our country.
The old days most folks were embarrassed to take a hand out. Today not so much. Until you can convince those who are taking it and not need it to stop, we will continue down the same path of destruction.
Ol dad That ain’t getting fixed with a ballot. Correct! The problem is no one will vote themselves out of a free paycheck... We don't need the government to take away free handouts. We need people with self-respect and dignity. With that everything else heals on its own. Ol dad

Help me through this.....GOP currently holds 48 seats. Win Alaska and Nevada, that makes 50. Georgia goes to a runoff and the libertarians vote for Walker, that makes 51? I think most (maybe not all) sources have "called" Alaska as Republican, although unsure which Republican candidate. As it stands now, Republicans have 49 seats and Democrats have 48. The uncalled races are Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia. R is leading in NV, D in Arizona. If NV gets called Republican, and Arizona gets called Democrat, that will make it comes down to 50R-49D At this point in seems impossible for the Dems to control the Senate outright, but with Kamala's tie breaking vote they would still have control if GA goes Democrat. If GA goes Republican, we'll have control of both houses. That said, this is all eerily similar to 2020 and you remember what happened then, right? Don't be shocked if GA doesn't come up with 0.49% more Dem votes before they declare a runoff. Although Murkowski is labeled as an R she is democrat, and if she wins,which she most likely will due to this stupid ranked choice voting it will be a win for the democrats. The democrats WILL have the majority in the senate.

Something about it would take around 10,000 votes to get either of them to 50% and there weren’t that many left to count.

The democrats WILL have the majority in the senate. Sheesh I just read a little on this and how dumb! So Buzz will be eliminated first, but his 3% won't be enough to push either candidate over 50% so then all the Dem votes will go to their 2nd or 3rd choice which will obviously be Murkowski. This is the most ridiculous system I have ever seen!

That may be true, but the only way to win is to have better candidates.
