GA Senate Run-Off Election Results Coming In

I am afraid to believe this is true. Can it be true?

This is what Politoco is saying:

Gabriel Sterling, a top Georgia elections official, said on CNN that Ossoff would likely end up keeping his lead but it was unclear whether it would be narrow enough for a recount.

I am proud of them too. You said black women would be the key to shaping our future and you were right. Kudos!

Close but not done yet. Ossoff is gaining and well ahead..

65,000 ballots still outstanding, athough from heavy democratic counties.

Up to 17,000 military ballots to be counted by Friday.

Fellow Kentuckian here feeling so happy and hopeful right now!

Nothing will make me happier than seeing old Mitch relieved of his duties as Senate Majority Leader. Now he can go rot in hell! Bye, Felicia!

Queen Stacey Abrams!  TEN YEARS of building the infrastructure to make this even a possibility!

Now I need to look up Latosha Brown.  Thanks for bringing her to my attention Olan.
My friends and I in Cali sent $ and collectively wrote thousands of postcards to Georgians in Nov/Dec.  
I'm holding my breath until John Ossoff is officially declared the winner.

Thank you for that! I tried to help a friend with a postcard goal and quickly realized I much prefer people shooing me off their porches! Great work!

I am just happy. Even though I have other pretty awful news this week, this makes me so happy. Mitch McConnell is now much less powerful. Phew.

Oh man, this brings me back. 

Congratulations, Georgia. I was hoping for one seat to turn, but two? This is like a thousand Christmases. The Democratic party is in massive debt to Stacey Abrams. I don't know what she's going to do next, but her future is bright. 

Also a testament to an unsuppressed ballot box. Black people got their voices heard - and it's about time. I keep thinking about the Mississippi Three who were murdered for registering black people to vote. This is what they died for. This is exactly what White Supremacists fear. Their time is coming to an end, and if the last four years are an indication, they won't go quietly. 

Today is a celebration, though. Good work! 

I'm very happy and proud to have a large circle of friends who have worked very hard for progressive and other Dem candidates nationwide.  My friend Carolyn bought 17 THOUSAND postcards for the Reclaim Our Vote campaign and found local friends in our area (with about 130K people) to write address and send them for the GOTV effort for the Nov 5 election. We had about 3 months to do those. Then, when we knew about the runoff elections, she purchased 14K more cards and we found people to complete them in 3 weeks.  It was gratifying work to be able to do something which seemed it could make a difference.  So glad we're seeing that it did, in fact, help.  I'm very grateful to everyone who wrote, texted, called and knocked on doors like you did! I am grateful that there are many ways to help on a national level no matter where we live!

 

Stacey Abrams just posted this on FB:

So many hands built this victory, but I must single out the indefatigable, ingenious team at Fair Fight Action, led by the powerhouse that is Lauren Groh-Wargo. From mobilizing voters to defending the franchise to moving the needle on what’s possible - this team is mighty! Thank you all.
