🛑 WIZARD PROJECTS:

Warnock (D) will win Georgia Special Senate Runoff Election against Loeffler (R). https://t.co/ZO3UkwlX0J
— The Election Wizard (@Wizard_Predicts) January 6, 2021

11:11 PM: Unreal…

Let me restate…DeKalb has 171k+ advanced votes to upload. https://t.co/HYLZbj03pV
— Gabriel Sterling (@GabrielSterling) January 6, 2021

10:56 PM:

David Perdue, Kelly Loeffler and Bubba McDonald are all three in the lead but a good number of DeKalb County election day votes are still uncounted. Expect the margins to tighten.
— David Shafer (@DavidShafer) January 6, 2021

10:54 PM: Here we go again…

UPDATE: just confirmed. Chatham County is done counting votes for the night.

The board of elections annex building is empty. Workers say they’ll be back at 8 a.m.

Still thousands of votes to be counted here. @WJCLNews
— Stephen Moody WJCL (@StephenWJCL) January 6, 2021

10:43 PM: The vote count out of the ATL metro is slowing….

10:28 PM

On @wsbtv just now: @GaSecofState told @JustinGrayWSB he expects a chunk of DeKalb votes to come in within the next 30 minutes. It's a county that votes overwhelmingly Democrat.
— Matt Johnson (@MattWSB) January 6, 2021

10:13 PM: Twitter hits Wasserman with a warning for calling the race.

Fair enough! The label is accurate. https://t.co/T7JTNgKtJI

10:10 PM:

BREAKING – Laura Ingraham shows live report from Fulton County where a judge had to allow, at the last minute, vote count observation from GOP observers who had been denied meaningful observation.
— Blair Brandt (@BlairBrandt) January 6, 2021

9:38 PM:

The biggest dump of remaining Democratic vote is the ~170k DeKalb County in-person early vote, which we expect to break for Ossoff by an 85-15 margin
— Nate Cohn (@Nate_Cohn) January 6, 2021

9:25 PM: BREAKING: Kelly Loeffler has taken the lead.

9:16 PM:

Trump being on the ballot made a difference. Right wing populism does better with minorities than generic conservatism. https://t.co/COmNZK0M1j

9:13 PM

FYI: Cherokee County is a big Republican stronghold.

CHEROKEE COUNTY NUMBERS: 87% in

~68,000+ votes Perdue
~32,000 votes Ossoff

Ossoff outperforming Biden.

Donald Trump netted nearly 58,000 votes out of Cherokee County in November.#gapol #gasen

9:06 PM: BREAKING: David Perdue just took the lead over Jon Ossoff.

8:55 PM:

Dems are performing better in rural Washington and Jefferson counties. Perdue won barely Washington in Nov. He’s currently behind in Washington with an estimated 96% reporting.

8:40 PM:

Things are not looking good for the GOP. Washington County, a swing county Perdue won by 1.7% in the general, goes to Ossoff by 2.4%. That's 3x Biden's 0.7 pt margin.
— Tom Bonier (@tbonier) January 6, 2021

8:35 PM:

One danger for the Republicans: yes, they can hope to do better by *vote share* in the remaining Atlanta area vote…
but they can't hope for it to be smaller than modeled in DeKalb/Fulton. We actually know the turnout in DeKalb was higher than the model currently estimates
— Nate Cohn (@Nate_Cohn) January 6, 2021

8:24 PM:

Mitch should have cut the checks.
— The Columbia Bugle 🇺🇸 (@ColumbiaBugle) January 6, 2021

8:20 PM:

Ossoff 56% | 921,800

Perdue 44% | 715,653

Warnock 57% | 927,962

Loeffler 43% | 709,039

Est. 39% reporting.

8:11 PM:

Georgia official Gabriel Sterling on when Senate runoff election outcome will be known: "I would say it's going to be a couple of days because I'm anticipating it will be a close race one way or the other."
— Josh Caplan (@joshdcaplan) January 6, 2021

8:02 PM

Franklin Co. looks to be first deep red North GA county to fully report:

Perdue +70.8
Loeffler +70.8

Trump (Nov.) +69.4

But the bad news for Rs: runoff turnout is only at 86.1% of November levels. That might not cut it.
— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) January 6, 2021

8:01 PM: Perdue and Loeffler are running ahead of their Nov. 3 performance in Webster County with 99% of the vote in.

7:55 PM: Democrats are running a couple points ahead in Douglas County (ATL area) as compared to the Nov. 3 results.

7:45 PM:

GEORGIA.🚨🚨

Gabriel Stirling, who is an independent contractor and *NOT* employed by the Georgia Secretary of State told CNN the following:

THE GEORGIA ELECTION WILL ALLOW AN EXTRA THREE HOURS TO PROCESS ABSENTEE & MAIL-IN BALLOTS, UNTIL 3 A.M.!
— Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) January 6, 2021

7:42 PM:

Ossoff 53% | 235,976

Perdue 47% | 207,689

Warnock 54% | 237,702

Loeffler 46% | 205,958

7:33 PM Perdue is running behind his Nov. 3 performance in Camden County with an estimated 63% of precincts in the county reporting. Perdue won the county by 64%. Currently, he’s at 58%.

7:28 PM: Warnock is out-performing Ossoff in the ATL metro currently, but Ossoff appears to be doing slightly better in the more rural areas.

7:25 PM: Fulton County early votes are now pouring in.

7:20 PM:

Ossoff 74% | 83,112

Perdue 26% | 29,549

Warnock 74% | 83,832

Loeffler 26% | 37, 886

7:11 PM: Very early results show Ossoff and Warnock leading Perdue and Loeffler in Burke County. Warnock is running slightly behind Ossoff. That being said, it’s only handful of votes, so don’t draw too many conclusions.

7:01 PM: “General consensus is GOP needs 1M+ to turn out on Election Day, and to win election day by a 2-to-1 margin. So far, turnout looks to be heading that way, but Dem counties doing better. Going to be very close.” — Robert Barnes

7:00 PM: The polls are now closed.

6:44 PM: DeKalb County hit their 2020 presidential in-person voting levels at about 6:15 PM. DeKalb went heavily for Joe Biden.
