Those of you still with us know that we have been transported to a circle of hell where Fulton County wrestles valiantly with what is apparently 1996-era technology to close out this primary day in GA-06.
At last check, “technical difficulties” are what is keeping Fulton County from reporting the balance of their results.
After a monstrous early vote for Democrat Jon Ossoff, the walk-up vote began to, as expected, erode his huge lead. The only intrigue by the middle of the evening was if Ossoff could avoid a runoff entirely by staying above 50 percent.
As of right now, he is doing just that: he sits at 50.32 percent of the vote. However, with Cobb County (still the most Republican part of the district and DeKalb County (now considered the “Democratic” part of this historically red district) already booked, we wait on the part of the district in Fulton County, which was expected to be downright swingy.
The expectation is that Ossoff will likely dip below 50, based on how the walk-up vote has behaved to date. But he has almost certainly outshined his polling, which largely had him at 45 percent or below.
