This kind of shit shouldn't happen at all, but Brian Kemp can oversee his election as SOS.

You live in a weird reality. Texas and Tennessee are probably R seats at this point, Heitkamp's not winning in North Dakota, but Missouri and Indiana are still complete tossups and Democrats are very clearly leading in Florida.


Texas and Tennessee are safe GOP seats at this point, while Hawley is clearly in the lead in Missouri as is Braun in Indiana. Florida is also clearly a tie.

You automatically should not be associated with overseeing elections as SOS. It's ridiculous. And Kemp will probably win because of it.

Nelson has recently got the advantage while Scott held it for most of the summer and part of the fall. There are some polls which show a close race, but most of them show Nelson with a small-sizable lead.

How do you make Florida a tie with an average lead of 2.3 for Nelson but then proceed to say that the others are clearly in the lead in those states when they're only leading by like less than 1%?

Talk about a fox guarding the henhouse.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

He could win in the runoff because Georgia has a 50+1 rule in general elections, which is also not optimal to have.

Because I looked at the recent polling instead of just the average. As well, Hawley's average is 2%, comparable to Nelson's average.

I try. :p

It'll hurt him in the election, and yet either way there will indeed be a run-off because of the Libertarian and Independent candidate, unless this voter purge pushes more people to vote for Abrams which is likely.

We all know if a Democrat running for office was also the Secretary of State at the same time the Republicans would be bawling nonstop on every major media outlet.

Indeed I did. Out of three most recent polls, NYT/Siena had him at +4 while CBS/YouGov had them at ties. Gravis did find a +4, but Gravis isn't as good quality as the other two and has a bit of a bias.
