8:40am — HuffPost is cautiously optimistic for Warnock
x Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is a slight favorite, but a big Election Day could swing the election to GOP challenger Herschel Walker.
https://t.co/60lHhghlqS — HuffPost Politics (@HuffPostPol) December 6, 2022
The credible public surveys of the race mostly show Warnock winning. Even more so, the state just conducted a massive poll of nearly 4 million people that got turnout exactly right. That survey — it was called the Nov. 8 general election — had Warnock with a 1-point lead over Walker. There’s little reason to believe voter preferences or the political environment have shifted much since then.
But:
Democratic data analysts have also found a large number of GOP voters who voted early in the general election, but have not yet cast a ballot in the runoff. Democrats fear those voters could be casting their ballot on Tuesday in the runoff, meaning the wave of red votes backing Walker on the final day of voting could be even stronger.
8:30am — Walker campaigns with very little energy
x Herschel Walker arrives at the Marietta Diner for a breakfast stop about an hour after polls open to encourage Republicans to vote in today’s runoff. #gapol #gasen pic.twitter.com/KlaKXtCDxX — Greg Bluestein (@bluestein) December 6, 2022
8:17am — Update from the SOS’ COO
x As of 7:45am, our average wait time has dropped to 4 minutes, the average check in time is 44 seconds and we estimate over 100,000 Georgians have cast their ballots this morning. All going well so far. Get Out and Vote. #gapol pic.twitter.com/hPqyjKZ6cv — Gabriel Sterling (@GabrielSterling) December 6, 2022
7:55am Bee Nguyen, Democratic nominee for SOS, is one of many poll watchers today
