Senate Control to be decided Jan 5

[Slavister]

(IF Biden wins), the only way Dems can control senate now is with 2 GA runoffs on January 5

According to AP: as of now

David Perdue 2,439,193
Jon Ossoff 2,328,589
Libertarian Party 112,770

2,439,193 vs (2,328,589+112,770) = 2,441,359

means Perdue is actually UNDER 50%+1 vote, and thus it should go to runoff

There is still a chance!​

I will be voting!

Democrats need at least 50 seats so Harris can be the deciding vote.

Is winning the race going to get them 50 seats in the senate?

Yes, if BOTH GA runoffs on Jan 5 go to D, they will have 50. Note: what matters in THIS race (which Ossoff will likely lose) is just getting opponent down to 50% so that runoff between just 2 of them can happen on Jan 5, without anyone else. E.g. if Libertarian Party voters vote for Ossoff, it will give him D Senate seat.

Still a long shot for Ossoff to pull it off on Jan 5 but at least he will have a chance. And GA will know they are voting the WHOLE Senate control and not just with 1 but with 2 seats...

50/50 he chugs it

Note: we need AZ to hold up for Kelly Senate seat though! Good thing he is running ahead for Biden but still (3.4% lead with 90% reporting).

That's also a key!

48 seats plus the two independents who caucus with them.

Republicans on the forum kept posting that at least they will keep the Senate - proving they are gullible fools.

Democrats control the vote totals. They can run as many fake ballots as they want - no limit. No Republican could win because there was no actual election. I've been pointing that for some time for Republicans saying that Republicans will hold the Senate. In fact, for practical purposes, the Republican Party no longer exists - other than their will be Republican plutocrats making pointless speeches against their fellow plutocrats who call themselves Democrats.

The USA is a one party corporate plutocracy now. Forget about elections. They will be as meaningful as Kim Jung Un's and Putin's elections. None. Just diversions. Illusions. Frauds.

USA would probably do better with one party rule under democrats.

Is that why Dems lost a bunch of House seats and failed to flip Senate ones? Is that why Dems made it way too close in Georgia instead of having a decent margin?

If you spew out a conspiracy theory, you might as well make it believable.
