Just in: Republican Kelly Loeffler concedes defeat to Raphael Warnock #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
Says Loeffler: “Rest assured: the fight to advance the American Dream is far from over. The fight to protect conservative values is far from over. And the fight against socialism and the radical agenda of the left is very far from over." #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
Perdue has yet to concede and his campaign just said his statement from Wednesday still stands: #gapol #gasen

This Georgia Republican, who tried to overturn the results of the election yesterday, is trying to shift blame. What happened:

Angry Trump supporters gathered in DC, egged on by Trump and allies to descend on the Capitol. They did. A violent mob then attacked the building.
Oh, and some must have also gotten the notion that a revolution was underway. Not sure how that happened.

A statement from @ossoff’s campaign manager Ellen Foster:

"When all the votes are counted we fully expect that Jon Ossoff will have won this election to represent Georgia in the United States Senate." #gasen
Ossoff now leads Perdue by nearly 10,000 votes ...
From the Perdue camp: “We will mobilize every available resource and exhaust every legal recourse to ensure all legally cast ballots are properly counted. We believe in the end, Senator Perdue will be victorious."

Republicans still narrowly lead but Democrats can rely on hundreds of thousands of votes still outstanding in metro Atlanta that will break heavily toward @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock. DeKalb County, where the votes could break ~80/20, is key #gapol #gasen Image
@ossoff @ReverendWarnock Where are the outstanding Republican votes? There are some troves still in Columbia, Bartow, Forsyth. But we're waiting for a wave of votes from densely-populated D-leaning counties, including Chatham, Cobb, Henry and -- of course -- DeKalb. #gapol #gasen

And we’ve got our first batch of Senate runoff results in — a few hundred votes in Burke County in east Georgia. Buckle up - we will start getting more mail-in batches soon. #gapol #gasen
Huge batch of Fulton County ballots just came in, a Democratic stronghold, giving Democrats a cushion of about 55k votes overall. Constant reminder that it’s very early. #gapol #gasen
Watch Hall County, along with neighboring Cherokee and Forsyth, closely tonight. These are probably the three most important Republican counties in Georgia and the early returns show a 85-15 split in Hall for the GOP. #gapol #gasen

The polls are open in Georgia! A reminder of what's at stake in today's runoffs: Control of the US Senate and the fate of Biden's legislative agenda.

No biggie.

Relief might be one of the most common emotions today
John Paul Jones Jr., 72, voted for the #gasen Rs in Macon. “I’mma go on, and get it over with,” Jones told the @ajc’s Carly Wanna. "Both sides make me sick” he said, citing the barrage of negative ads. Still, in his 54 years as a voter, he knows “that’s typical” politics.
