Georgia officials say that predictions and results will start coming out starting tonight and tomorrow morning. Polls have Ossoff up +1.8 points and Warnock up +2.1 points on average. It is important to note that the average margin of error for the presidential race is 3 points, meaning that anything could happen. Also, the poll averages are from FiveThirtyEight, which decided to include both the Trafalgar group and JMC Analytics, giving Ossoff +12 and Warnock +13 in total, shifting the average to the left. Polls close today at 7:00 pm ET.

Given the current tallies for early votes, 30% of voters are above the age of 66 and 21% are 56 to 65. This could be a huge advantage to the GOP since older voters tend to be more conservative. In terms of race, 56% of voters are Non-Hispanic white, 31% are Non-Hispanic black, 2.3% are Hispanic, and 2.5% are Asian American. Currently, 3 million votes have already been cast, reaching 70% of the turnout seen in the 2020 presidential year.

To recap the profiles of the candidates, let’s start with Warnock and Loeffler. Loeffler is most notable for her insider trading “scandal”, selling stocks after receiving information not available to the general public about the coronavirus pandemic. Warnock on the other hand is being called an open anti-semite and a Marxist. He has compared America to Fidel Castro’s Venezuela and also ran over his ex-wife’s foot during domestic abuse. Surprisingly, he has the upper hand, probably because of the MSM’s blatant attempts to cover up for him. Perdue has been called a “Washington Insider” by attack ads from the Ossoff campaign. Ossoff is being called a radical from attack ads for his “support of AOC’s 90 trillion dollars green new deal”. Ossoff has called out Loeffler for “campaigning with a klansman”, although this has been thoroughly debunked.
