GA: Is Ossoff/Perdue heading for a run-off?

I would assume that the remaining GA votes that are being counted would run in a similar rate in this race as it has been for the Presidential election. Will it be enough to force a run-off?

If so, and we were to win both GA seats in run-offs, would that take us to 50-50 in the Senate (with the 2 independents)?

So close could Ossoff get to 50+1? grantcart Nov 2020 #1
It's unlikely. Ossoff is down 3 points right now. Claustrum Nov 2020 #3
Yup. We'd better fire up the machine again. lagomorph777 Nov 2020 #11
Yes. That's a very probable case. Claustrum Nov 2020 #2
Ok. If both GA SEN seats go to run-off DonaldsRump Nov 2020 #4
Seems that way. And Kamala would be the tie breaker! MoonRiver Nov 2020 #5
So, let's hope for the run-off DonaldsRump Nov 2020 #6
YES! MoonRiver Nov 2020 #7
a minimal 55/45 split (Dem/Rep) would bring him to about 49.81%. He's at 50.04% right now Roland99 Nov 2020 #8

GA runoff will be very expensive and I feel bad for people in GA because they will be bombed with ads and attention from media.

As I was watching these numbers get closer to a mandatory runoff, I was wondering if the tRumpers would stay home for a special runoff election or would they show up in force?

If they stay away ...that would give the country a ray of hope, because if McConnell is in charge of the senate there is no doubt in my mind that there will not be a single piece of legislation brought to a vote other than a couple of continuing resolution funding stopgaps to keep the government open.

Then the 2022 strategy will be to call Biden and the Dems the 'do nothing party' so that they can take over the house and senate.

Can I walk away from the ledge or will the haters show up in December for the runoff?

he may be their idol, but he's just a puppet. The puppet master wants the Senate, so I would expect it to take every effort possible to have a chance of getting one or both of those seats.

Edit to add:

The mobs will still be incited, more than ever.
