I am by no means an expert in such things. But with 82% of the Georgia vote in, only 55% of Fulton County in, only 68% of Cobb County in, only 59% of Chatham County in, the overwhelming majority of the rural conservative vote in, and Warnock currently 19,000 votes ahead, things are looking quite optimistic for Warnock. At least for now.
CNN reported a little while ago that an anonymous source in the Walker campaign stated the rural numbers weren't as good as they hoped. We'll see.

I'm going to say Warnock will win by about 50K-75K votes. But I'm not good at math. I just don't know where or how Walker can recover. This map makes things pretty clear. There are hundreds of votes still to go his way in rural Georgia counties. But there are still thousands upon thousands of votes to be had in Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb counties--all Democratic strongholds. That said, they all have conservative suburban areas too.

And just like that, CNN calls it for Warnock.
Whew.

Not being a US citizen, I should not comment but this rural-urban divide is quite disturbing...not good for the country..

It is a characteristic of the USA hyper-divided political spectrum. City-dwellers = DEMS, Rural-Population = GOPS. Makes it for more division as you have that odd "electoral college" split, and you get delegates by county.
Of course, it is the sole way the GOP remains a force. So it will not change.
As you say, not good for the country.

In other news, apparently police were called to Ted Cruz's home late last night because his eldest daughter, 14, had self-inflicted stab wounds. No serious injuries. This report also includes a detail about her I didn't not know. You have two wonder if the two things are related.

You would think that MAGAts would look at this and think about the effect their words have on young people but you'd be wrong. It's all a plot by the Democrats.
The family deserves privacy at this time.

Seems odd that Ted Cruz's daughter's suicide attempt isn't really being called that.

It hadn't dawn on me that that could be a possibility.

Brittney Griner has been released from Russia and is on her way to the USA. The Biden Administration traded "The Merchant of Death" for her.
Because, you know, this is the worst administration ever.
