10. I tend to group the races with lots of individual candidates as party vs party.

The Republicans definitely got a significantly higher percentage of votes on Nov 3rd in the Warnock race. (If my memory serves me.)

Ironically, if there was no runoff system, Republicans probably would have won both seats. But many years ago they created the runoff system to sabotage the chances of black candidates in their elections. That didn't work this time, thank goodness.

7. NOT A REVOTE. Do not use RW terminology to describe a RUNOFF ELECTION.

The word REVOTE comes up time and time again when the violent Right Wing discusses tRump invoking the Insurrection Act. The idea is to force a highly suppressed re-vote in six states for President.

While you are trying to spout off a bunch of rules its more than
likely that Trump is gearing up to declare a !imited martial law in
the 5 contested states and have the military over see a one day in
person revote. Common sense says he will also have to lock down
DC. That means controlling Congress which Trump has the constitutional
right to adjourn for 10 days. Beyond that we are in new territory but
so is a Marxist revolution.

and after googling for awhile, I was obviously not using the correct nomenclature to get the results I desired, I decided to come here where I knew these folks know bunches more than I.

I just don't like to bug people to find things I might find on my own.
