According to the Secretary of State of Georgia, with 96% reporting, Chamblee has just under enough to avoid a runoff.
I took the county-by-county data to see how these remaining 127 precincts (out of 3153) may turn out. If the remaining precincts vote the way the rest of their counties did, Chamblee will end up with 49.95% of the vote and face a runoff election.
Again, this is if each the last precinct(s) in each county voted in the same percentages as the rest of the county, both in number of votes and for whom the votes were cast.
That means, if the trend is accurate, Chambliss would have needed 1,863 more votes.
I wonder how many people voted like me, for McCain but couldn’t pull the lever for Chambliss because of his porking, “Gang of 10” crap and support for the bailout. Out of 3.8 million votes, I think it’s very likely that a mere 2,000 people refused to vote for him on principle.
And if there’s a runoff, I still won’t be voting for him. I’ll not vote in the runoff.
You made your bed, Saxby. I hope you’re enjoying this. Exit polls are showing that over half of nationwide voters opposed the bailout. Good job.
Hey, Johnny [Isakson] , are you watching this? You’re next.
