The Times has the best live blog of GA-6. SC5 was much closer than anyone saw coming.
I will dig in the numbers tomorrow, but let me suggest the following. So if this read is right – and I want to look at a county breakdown of rural versus suburban, it suggests a Democratic comeback in rural areas.
If this holds it would mean very important things for Senate and Governor’s races in the Midwest and in Florida.
I am pretty disappointed in GA-6. As of this writing Ossoff has not really outperformed Clinton. If you want to look at the glass half full, though, you can argue that you would take it. Holding the upscale gains in places like GA-6 while cutting the margins in rural places would be a pretty powerful thing.
But it really depends on the numbers.
2016 prez results may represent a Dem ceiling (or so) in places where Trump slumped, but a floor in places where he ran well. https://t.co/0XI07B4A2u
