NYT's Live Election Results: Georgia's Sixth Congressional District

[yallerdawg]

Democrats hope Jon Ossoff will win them the House seat vacated by Tom Price, the new health and human services secretary. If no candidate wins a majority of the vote, the top two will advance to a June 20 runoff.

3. Polls close at 8 or 9 pm?..n/t

[Ezior]

5. I think they closed at 7pm

Some places are open for a little bit longer because they had some issues. According to the live results page, first results are expected at 7:30

6. Link is saying updates will begin at 7:30

7. Polls close at 7PM, however

a couple of polling places are open late by court order because of machine malfunctions.

10. Local news reports:

“Unfortunately, there were unforeseen staffing and equipment issues that caused these two polls to open late,” Richard Barron, director of the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections, said Tuesday afternoon. “As required by law, we are extending the operating times for these two locations to allow voters the complete 12 hours available to cast their ballots. All other polling locations will close at 7 pm.”

The adjustments mean the Johns Creek site would close at 7:55 p.m., nearly an hour past the original 7 p.m. cutoff, while voting at Centennial High would cease at 7:35 p.m.

9. I don't believe in the fairness of elections anymore

The whole system is rigged. Yesterday there was the news about voting information stolen.

11. Anecdotes from the NYT's "Live analysis" link:

A Democratic precinct has twice the voters and a Republican precinct has half as many!

Locals Georgians can't believe a Democrat is even in contention here!

[yallerdawg]

12. First results in!

Ossoff kicking ass!!!

[Ezior]

13. Nice start.. Ossoff 71,3%! (0 of 210 precints) (no text)

[Glitterati]

16. WOW! That's early voting results tabulated

Dekalb County - very blue area of the voting district.

Still a great showing.

[yallerdawg]

15. Nate Cohn predicts voting so far indicates around 61% for Ossoff live votes today!

Early voting was projected to be a 50/50 split!

Maybe not so farfetched now?

[Mr. Ected]

17. Ossoff at 63.43% with 4.78% of the vote counted -eom

[mcar]

18. Thanks!

[yallerdawg]

19. More from Nate Cohn!

We now have early vote from Cobb County — the most Republican part of the district. Ossoff is at 57 percent in the early vote there, which is much better than I think even the most optimistic analysts would have suggested. Puts Ossoff on pace for around two-thirds of the early vote.
