So far in the areas reporting, Handel is in the lead.

[NCTraveler]

1. Only early votes in Fulton county as of this point.

There will be a hundred plus more thousand votes in that County when all counted.

Over four hundred thousand voted in that County for President. Clinton took it with sixty nine percent of the vote.

[Loki Liesmith]

2. Also no mail in earlies

[Loki Liesmith]

3. That said...I'm not feeling great

[Hoyt]

28. Problem is, the portion of Fulton County that went for Clinton is not in this District.

[riversedge]

4. K and R.

[chillfactor]

5. I am scared to death...

he will lose...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. I fear NEWT said "I got this covered" - Just like Jeb did in 2004

[geek tragedy]

6. Early votes looking bad nt

[superpatriotman]

7. As of 8:11

MSNBC showing 51% Ossoff 49% Handel

[Doodley]

8. Let this hold!

[Blue_true]

13. That would be mostly early vote. That is positive as long as Ossoff vote turned out today.

Republicans tend to lead early vote. The fact that Handel is behind looks good.

[geek tragedy]

23. That's worse than the first round's early voting nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. when you say early do you mean early tonight or early voting results from before today?

[geek tragedy]

22. The latter, down from primary totals nt

[blitzen]

9. Ossoff ahead by a couple thousand votes 8:15 pm eastern n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. 51 - 49 on MSNBC now - OSSOFF

[mobeau69]

14. Booyah!

[Doodley]

15. NYT Projecting a Republican win - remaining votes favor Handel

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. fuck

[blitzen]

17. are you talking about 538, which says forecast is "highly uncertain? n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. oh thank you blitzen a ray of hope

[displacedtexan]

25. I've read everything behind the nyt firewall. I see no actual prediction.

In fact, the nyt says it's impossible to predict right now.

[Different Drummer]

19. As of 8:29 PM EDT...

Ossoff has a big lead in DeKalb County; he's running slightly behind Handel in Fulton and Cobb counties.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Decipher. Is that good?

[Different Drummer]

21. Well, overall, Ossoff is currently down by less than 2K votes, so...

I'd say it's possible he could win.

[Drunken Irishman]

26. He's not going to win.

[ATL Ebony]

27. 11 Alive (ATL) - Update: 8:55:39 PM

[Drunken Irishman]

[ATL Ebony]

40. I know, not looking good for Jon but there's still time with only 39% reporting

Updated: 9:15:40 PM
Precincts: 82/208 (39% reporting)
-----------------------------------

Karen Handel (R)
84,462 (52%)

Jon Ossoff (D)
79,281 (48%)

[grantcart]

31. Yep hard to win when you have 52% committed to absolute stupidity

[L. Coyote]

24. NY Times - Live Election Results and Estimates:

https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/georgia-congressional-runoff-ossoff-handel

Jon Ossoff leads by 1.0 percentage points over Karen Handel with 6 percent of precincts fully reporting. Jump to estimate of final result ?
Candidate Party Votes Pct.
Jon Ossoff Democrat 61,375 50.5%
Karen Handel Republican 60,182 49.5

6% reporting (13 of 208 precincts)

Estimated margin, in pct. points = Handel +1.1

Right now, our most likely estimates span Ossoff +4.8 to Handel +7. The darker region shows the middle 50 percent of our forecasts. The more we know, the narrower our range will be.

Few Election Day votes have been counted. Our forecast is still highly uncertain.

[delisen]

30. I'd like to see the Gerrymander factor reported on in all house races

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. And the NEWT factor

[alarimer]

32. It's starting to slip away.

Looks like the fucking @$&$$ will win.

Fuck those people. That area is a lifeless suburban hellhole. I went to high school in Cobb County and it fucking sucked.

[riversedge]

34. Steve K saying conservative /Cobb distrist has lots of

votes for the Repug yet to be included.

[budkin]

35. So predictable.

Once again the GOP "pulls it out."

[roamer65]

36. Here comes the vote rigging.

[hatrack]

37. Oh boy! Can't wait to celebrate another moral victory!

We can all talk about how close it was, and how we made the GOP spend lots of money!

[GulfCoast66]

38. Price won this district by over 20% even though Hillary almost won it.

These suburban republicans are not stupid and understand strategic voting. This district was always a huge long shot and is not one we should have ever expected to win. Anything less than a 5 point loss would astound me.

Winning the house is going to be a longshot in 2018 with the gerrymandering as bad as it is. And the Senate is not looking much better as we have more ground to defend.

I hate to sound like a Debbie downer, but this is a fact based community and those are the facts as I see them. You may feel differently.

And I hope to god I am wrong.

[madville]

41. You're spot on with your assessment

Handel would also get the luxury next year of running as an incumbent without national media attention or an opponent with huge piles of money.

[spooky3]

39. Rachel is reporting 60% of the vote is in and Ossoff is leading 51-49%. Not sure why

MSNBC has a much higher % of vote in than does NYTimes.

[madville]

42. Doesn't make sense

NYT has Handel up by 5% with 48% reporting

[ga_girl]

44. Rachel is wrong

21:35
48% precincts reporting
Handel - 53%
Ossoff - 47%

[spooky3]

45. She's now reporting 66% in, with Handel up 52.6% to 47.4% for Ossoff.

Kornacki is providing details. He says Handel did better than expected in the early vote, and is doing as expected--very well--in same day voting. There are 6500 mail votes and Ossoff got most of these.

[Tiggeroshii]

43. Somebody should've bet against Ossoff winning win the odds favored him

Then used the money to put into his 2018 run.

[ATL Ebony]

46. Race called for Handel

Karen Handel -- (52%)



Jon Ossoff you still rock! Please try again.
