...with 95% of the vote in from Dekalb county, his strongest area. Runoff looking pretty likely.

Osseff wins/loses by a nose. LOL!

There seems to be some serious vote splitting happening among the Republicans.

Yes, however as this is not a first past the post system, if no candidate gets 50% + 1 there will be another election in June between the top two, so the republican votes amongst ALL of the contenders need to add to fifty for them to keep the seat, since it's highly unlikely the dems can organize high turnout in a june election
 
He's at 51% now with 66% reporting according to CNN.

Looks like a run-off if the trend downward for Ossoff continues.
 
Hoping for a big win for the Democrats either today or in June. It would be nice to avoid a runoff, but, either way, Dems need to show they are competitive in GA. Especially after some embarrassing losses. They couldn't even get Feingold in the Senate in WI.

Hoping for a strong showing here. It'd be nice to hear some good news, for once.

All of DeKalb county is in, which was Ossoff's strong area. It's only a downward trend from here.
 
Very high turnout. Ossoff did much better than expected with the early vote. No wonder the GOP was knocking on our doors with only 2.5 hours left to vote, lol.

A runoff is going to take the wind out of Ossof's sails, I don't think his contributors are going to stick around for a June election, they wanted a symbolic victory today, If they don't get it I think the seat is as good as GOP come 6-20
 
With Cobb and Dekalb all the way in Ossoff outperformed Hillary by exactly 1.5% in each. He needs to beat her by 3% to get to 50%. Unless he somehow did a lot better in Fulton, this is a runoff.

Ossoff 50.4% of the vote with 72% of the vote in according to CNN.

Dekalb 100% in (Ossoff's strong county)
Cobb 96% in (Ossoff's weakest county)
Fulton 16% in (Ossoff currently winning fulton with 55.3%)​

Fulton will have to drop below 50% for their to be a runnoff.

Well, I have been following it in real time on TV.

50.4% with 72% reporting. I think Ossoff has peaked and most likely will drop below 50% at or near the finish line.

Saw a live update at the top of CNN home page reporting it.

wonder what's going on in Fulton, because they haven't reported any new ballot counts for over 45 minutes still at 16%

The 3 losing GOPs and GOP dark money have hammered Handel, and vice-versa, and written the ads Ossoff will counter with when the GOP goes in the gutter.

Ossoff is a Millenial, pragmatic, moderate who can handle any of the smears coming his way.

His fantastic ground game in GA isn't going anywhere and his small-donation network will continue to raise millions .

He almost definitely will. That's almost entirely the early vote, and he dropped off by well more than 5.3% in Cobb and Dekalb from the early vote to the final totals.

He's long been predicted to be below 50% at the end of today. I won't be shocked if that's so.
