13. Fulton does this on purpose

Its an election night game for Fulton.

They ALWAYS SLOW VOTE COUNT so that Fulton County results swing elections.

It's a Georgia tradition.

although I hope he pulls out a miracle at this point, but something tells me that he is heading off in runoff.

because the rest of the vote is split between three Republicans. So why haven't they called the race?

21. Because this district is gerrymandered
Tue Apr 18, 2017, 11:38 PM

and the county still to report is the worst part of the gerrymander.

There's no way to safely call this one. Not until the last vote is counted.
