Note that several election polls before the election were within the margin of error, usually 3%.

Several elections are so close they will be decided by a few hundred votes out of hundreds of thousands of votes.

The Boebert-Frisch election is one example:

Lauren Boebert (R) 50.2% 162,040 votes

Adam Frisch (D) 49.8% 160,918 votes


Another election is the Walker-Warnock Senate election, which has been forced into a runoff election on December 6th. Out of millions of votes, the top two contenders are separated by a margin of 0.9%. A key factor in this election is the 2.1% of votes that were given to the Libertarian candidate:
Raphael Warnock (D) 49.4% 1,941,511

Herschel Walker (R) 48.5% 1,906,261

Chase Oliver (L) 2.1% 81,175

It's unlikely that those who voted for Warnock or Walker will switch votes. Either people who didn't vote before will vote in the runoff (or not) or some of the 2.1% will switch their votes to either Team Normal or Team Crazy.

In both cases, the partisan votes are set and based solely on turnout while the Independent voters will be the ones who often pick the winner.

Although the data is still being analyzed, it appears that in the majority of elections, many Trumpers/Republicans stayed home, more Democrats turned out and more Independents voted for Team Normal.

In all cases, it should be clear to all Americans that your vote does count, especially in states where an election goes to a runoff if neither candidate garners over 50% of the vote.

Also note the importance of Independent voters compared to the whackjob partisans in either major party. It's one reason why Oz tried to moderate his message away from Team Crazy but it was too little, too late.
 
81,000 people voted for chase Oliver, a Libertarian ;) If those 81,000 break anywhere near or even remotely close to how they should based upon Libertarian beliefs then that means Walker wins the run off Big time. This could be a CLASSIC case of a "split the vote scheme" blowing up in the face of those who engineered it. JUSTICE. :cool:
 
Unless people think a Libertarian has more in common with a SOCIALIST then a conservative Georgia legend that is. :laugh: I think not.
 
It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes.

I personally doubt the run-off election in Georgia will be decided by how the people who voted for Oliver decide to move their votes. My guess is the majority of those people will stay home and not vote for either Warnock nor Walker.

The run-off election will be decided primarily by how many of the people who voted for Warnock and Walker decide to show up and vote a second time. I have no idea of how that will go, but I am delighted that some of the people who were sure of a red tsunami...are supposing the run off favors Walker.

It's truly sad when "conservative" has come to mean a lying, abusive, misogynistic abortionist who supports overthrowing the US government. You also don't see the logic of keeping the two major parties weak by voting for the challenger, both locally and nationally. Georgians, by having a runoff election, will be in a unique position to call the shots.

You, Fredo, STY and the other White Nationalists have repeatedly posted that Trump is a Libertarian. I don't see it since his actions and words are not in compliance with Libertarian ideals: https://www.lp.org/platform/

"PREAMBLE
As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty: a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and are not forced to sacrifice their values for the benefit of others.

We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be banished from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized.

Consequently, we defend each person’s right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest, and welcome the diversity that freedom brings. The world we seek to build is one where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, without interference from government or any authoritarian power.

In the following pages we set forth our basic principles and enumerate various policy stands derived from those principles.

These specific policies are not our goal, however. Our goal is nothing more nor less than a world set free in our lifetime, and it is to this end that we take these stands.

Time will tell. Agreed that turnout will be a major factor, but disagreed that Third Party voters and Independents won't have a decisive part in choosing the winner.

Enuff of your bullshit. Are you saying that a Libertarian has more in common with a SOCIALIST like Warnock then they do with a Conservative like Walker? If so, you are one dumb SOB. Lesser of 2 evils dumb ass.

Then put me on ignore and live in ignorant bliss, Fatboy. LOL

No, but it's easy to see why a big dumbass like yourself would leap to such silly conclusions.

Seems you dont take near as much satisfaction when SPLIT THE VOTE SCHEMES end up having unintended consequences and blowing up in the faces of the originators that I do. Imagine that.....:cool:

You haven't a clue, Fatboy. That's why you've allowed yourself to be sucked into the Trumpian White Nationalism black hole.

That's fine. Not only is it your choice, but when it comes to people like you and your little buddy, goat, I encourage you to leap into that hole head first. :)

Goat is trapped in his room and that explains why he's going insane. You have choices, but you're clearly stupid enough to allow your man-child desires to dictate your thinking. Sad, but it's a reason why I fault Democrats and their seatbelt and helmet laws.

Libertarians could logically vote Democratic (social issues) or Republican (economic issues).

I was very surprised the Democratic strategy worked to back the election deniers in the Republican party. I thought that would backfire on them but they won almost everyone of those races.

Agreed on Libertarians; a lot depends upon the candidate, given there was no viable Libertarian candidate to back.

Also agreed on the odd strategy of the Democrats in backing wackadoodle Trumpers. While it's easy to see the logic, if it backfired on them, as it appeared it might in October, it would be very bad for everyone.

BTW, have you noticed the Trumpers only bitch and whine about mail-in ballots when they lose an election, not when they win? :rofl2:

I thought backing those election deniers was a bad idea because that is why many of them won the Republican primary and I expected those same loyal Trump supporters to back them in the general election. Maybe the independents couldn't vote for them. I think Lake is the only possible winner.

It will be interesting to see how far Lake gets in her career, for several reasons: First, half the state is against her. Second, as this election proved, Americans are tiring of wackadoodle Trumpers. Lastly, any hopes she had of being Trump's VP are evaporating daily as Trump's stock sinks within the Republican majority.
