That's a lot of money that won't be available for other contests, well played.
Now can the Republicans hold a seat in June?

One on one, this should be a R shoe in, but never underestimate their ability to blow a sure thing.Originally Posted by Black Diamond

Trump will be emailing for more funds.

I don't think it will take much money, the Dems already spent more than it was worth. This was an attempt to 'stop the dam break' it didn't work.

Because of things to do, I wasn't watching the results, just saw this article and it's a riot! People not understanding '6th Congressional District' was not a statewide election.
D'oh!
Whenever one wonders how informed people are, remember this!

The hotly-contested race has gained national attention.
When Elliot arrived at the Allgood Road polling place earlier in the day Tuesday, he found a crew from BuzzFeed interviewing Judie Stoker and her family.
“I think people are actually becoming more aware of politics and want to do something about the path this country's been on for the last eight years,” Stoker told Elliot.
National Democrats and Republicans poured money into the race.

Even President Trump is getting involved, firing off several tweets asking people to vote against Ossoff.

The 6th Congressional race has gotten so much attention, people all over metro Atlanta asked about voting in it, even those outside the district.
Bartow County had to issue a news release Tuesday reminding voters they're in the 11th District and couldn't vote in Tuesday’s race.
In Henry County, officials put up signs telling their voters they couldn't vote in this race either.
Mary Hein, 95, thinks voters should learn about their races before they vote.
“People just go, ‘Oh, it's voting time, let's go vote.’ But they don't know what they're voting for,” Hein told Elliot.

The only way that Ossoff could have won the seat was to get more than 50%... he's doomed in June.
The democrats are pretty desperate for any kind of a win, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. In the meantime, I'll enjoy my schadenfreude.
Did you guys see how some voting machines were stolen and it took them 2 days to report it? More shady shit.

I agree with your analysis regarding the 50%, it would take the R's some doing to lose that seat now.The only way that Ossoff could have won the seat was to get more than 50%... he's doomed in June.

Regarding the bolded though, I think the lack of reporting may well be cause the jackass transporting those machines stopped at the grocery, where they were obviously left in his car, which is very likely against the law. They couldn't be used for votes, but did contain information on voters.
