By Delivering Ossoff and Warnock, She has Delivered Us from Evil
I’m speaking, of course, of the absolutely miraculous victories, wrought by Stacy Abrams’ Herculean effort to turn out the vote.
Both Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won in their respective Georgia senatorial runoffs.
The double defeat of the Republican incumbents in deep red Georgia is the political miracle upset of the era.
This ensures that Mitch McConnell has lost his racist draconian iron fisted grip on control of the Senate.
With that chamber now at an even 50/50 split, the deciding vote on all legislative matters before the Senate will go to Vice President Elect Kamala Harris, who will have the deciding vote in the Senate when she’s inaugurated on January 20th.
Better days are on the horizon…
Watch this space….

Why haven’t the losers demanded recounts? Is a limitation on recounts for run-off elections?

Both winners won by margins greater than 0.5%.
The threshold for recounting in Georgia is a margin of less than one half of one percent….

That was what I thought but I didn’t see anything corroborating that in the coverage. So we have the Senate by the thinnest possible margin, which is almost as bad as not having the Senate at all since it gives the Democrats in name only – the back benchers – absolute veto power over the Biden agenda. Half a loaf.

It beats having McConnell in control….
