You're not missing anything, the pattern so far is GOP rural areas underperforming, and Dem rural areas overperforming. We still have yet to get to the urban areas, though, and it's entirely possible (however unlikely) that something on the level of the Miami-Dade catastrophe happens.

Another county where Ossoff and Warnock improved heavily on Biden's margin.

Incredible GOTV effort there, kudos to the local Dem organization (and Stacey Abrams of course)

If these needle projections hold, both races will be outside of recount territory (0.5%). Still a long way to go but that would be an amazing way to end the night.

There were some bonkers numbers there on the Fox News page for a while you had Ossoff and Perdue at 50%-50% with Warnock like 30,000 votes ahead of Loeffler. Now its stabilized with Ossoff's lead growing again, 14,000 votes with Warnock again at 30,000 lead when you had like just moments ago a 4k difference on either side, this is crazy.

Any idea of when we might start seeing signs of that variable one way or another? Is that mail in vs day of votes?

I'd trust the data nerds being posted in this thread more than me, notorious forums poster Derpies, but it seems like if turnout continues to be low in Red areas and Higher in blue counties that actually are populated the data nerds will start mentioning it and we will see that and the all holy needle will reflect it.

Looks like it's all going to come down to the suburbs, if Biden's margin there will hold for Ossoff/Warnock.

It’s looking like the story will be that the black vote came through and rural whites stayed home.

The GOP only turns this around if a lot of suburban whites got off their asses and voted for Trump, which so far we haven’t seen evidence of.

Nate's Warnock needle changed from Tilting to Leaning.

Could this be happening?

Wasserman has said zero bad news so far for dems. Like not even a "this is a potential trouble spot" yet.

PA has a similar thing where the city of Chester is not in Chester county. It originally was, but in the 19th century the count was split and the half with Chester became Delaware county. You’d think when you split a county the half with the city it’s named after would be the one that keeps the name but what the gently caress do I know.

Sorta how in New York, Ontario County isn't even on the lake.

Ossof is definitely not a tossup. It would take a very strong trend reversal at this point for Perdue to win. It's still possible, sure, but it's not even close to 50/50 at this point.

edit: the needle is giving Ossof a 70% chance to win right now.

Also, conveniently, Warnock is the one who will be up for re-election in two years and he's far more capable of keeping his seat in an off year than Ossoff.
