What were you expecting? It's Christmas Eve and there was snow in Atlanta with just a couple counties open. Everyone there was probably freezing their #Ossoff.
Anyways, did I tell you about my secret talent of always knowing what's inside a wrapped box under the Christmas tree?
It's a gift.
Go bears.
The data is from @joe__gantt and @ADincgor as always. I just tweet it out and add analysis, but there's no analysis here to be added; just stupid puns :).
We'll know more about this race after the weekend. Until then, you'll see some cricket rants from me because the India-Australia test starts tomorrow and India are finally picking a decent team. Gill over Shaw, Pant for Saha, Jadeja replacing the homebound Virat Kohli...let's go!
er, this should really say 12/25, because the data was uploaded on the 25th and I already posted an update for the 24th, but oh well, whatever, nevermind

Assuming next week is more favorable to the GOP than current returns, our model suggests Perdue, as of right now, needs a ~63.5-36.5 statewide surge on election day...and the general was 61.2-38.8.
Not impossible! But it means they have a tougher task now than in November.
1) The GOP *definitely* has a path to victory still and if you don't believe it, you're reading too much into what you want to believe 2) The GOP is in a worse spot right now than they were in November, and they rely more on election day as a result.
Reposted because I got one stat slightly wrong about the general in my last tweet that I wanted to correct
Okay, yeah, more convinced that today was not what the GOP needed. I'll post a thread tomorrow, but here's a brief summary for anyone insane enough to be awake right now:
When sorting by turnout rate as a percentage of votes cast in the 2020 general election, the top 4 (and 5 of the top 6) districts were all won by Joe Biden.
7 of the bottom 8 districts were won by Donald Trump.
I've got a few DMs telling me to slow it down because I'm just giving the Republicans strategy tips, and I want to point something out: The GOP know this, and they've known this for a while. This is all public data. If it was this easy to reverse, they'd have done so already.
