The latest county absentee returns show Democrat @Carolyn4GA7 is hovering at 49.4% of the vote, just shy of an outright victory with thousands of absentee ballots left to count. #gapol #ga07

Math is hard and my one’s look like sevens. I meant 48.9%. #ga07

In Georgia’s 7th, Carolyn Bourdeaux inches closer to an outright win, and her allies are optimistic she can get there given absentee ballot trends. (Some of her rivals, too, say they won’t be surprised if she tops 50%). #gapol #ga07

Bourdeaux is now on the cusp of the 50% mark with a new trove of absentee ballots expected to be tallied soon that could put her over the top. #gapol #ga07

Democrat @Carolyn4GA7 has just inched just above the 50% mark as more absentee ballots are tallied. There are still about 15k #ga07 ballots to count, and some of her rivals privately expect she’s going to win this race outright and face Republican @RichforGA in November. #gapol

“While we believe every ballot must be counted, Carolyn is securing a majority of votes with record-setting Democratic turnout.” Bourdeaux’s latest memo highlights data that suggest she’s headed to a clear outright primary win. #gapol #ga07

The #ga07 race looks over to me, based on convos with campaigns & absentee ballot trends, with an outright victory for @Carolyn4GA7. National outlets that called the race as a runoff earlier have rescinded their projection, and seem set to declare her the primary victor. #gapol
