Decision Desk HQ's Coverage of GA-06

This is a special election to replace Tom Price, who joined the Trump Administration as HHS Secretary.

The Democrat, Dmitri "Funboy" Tossoff, has a huge warchest from massive donations from liberal interest groups, with almost all of his money coming from outside the district. That only makes sense, as Tossoff is from outside the district himself, though he claims he "grew up" in the district before moving in with his "girlfriend," he claims, to "support" her.

She lives a mile and a half outside the district but she needs him right there to "support" her or something.

His resume includes working for Hank "Guam Could Tip Over" Johnson and lying about his credentials so you can understand why he's gathered such passionate support from Vile Lunatics.

Meanwhile, there are 11 Republicans running so the Republican vote is massively split. (Tossoff has a couple of token Democrat competitors, whose only recommendation is that they actually bother to live in the district they'll be representing -- but none of them have all that sweet, sweet Daily Kos money.)

The big thing tonight is 1, hoping Tossoff doesn't get 50% of the vote (in which case he wins outright) and 2, seeing which Republican will face him in the run-off to follow.

If there's a run-off.

If this jackweed -- who looks like the stunt ass for Egg McMuffin in particularly brutal DA scene -- gets 50% plus one more vote on top of that, he just straight-up wins, and there's nothing we can do about it, except #Resist.

Decision Desk HQ will be covering the race. The polls closed at 7pm Georgia time, but I'm posting this later, because, well, what's the point of a ballot-counting thread before any ballots are counted?

I just know that whatever happens, Russia Did It.

Update: This is the DDHQ's link for results as they come in.
