GA-Sen: County Baselines

by: James L.

Tue Dec 02, 2008 at 5:11 PM EST

Here were the results on election night last month, broken down by county. As you watch the early returns tonight, keep an eye on these numbers. If Martin is lagging behind his November results, he's likely toast -- barring some miraculously strong metro Atlanta turnout, I guess.

Jeez, that's a lotta counties

Sadly, there are lots of Georgia counties for not-so-good reasons. . .

An issue to consider: are most counties going to include early vote numbers tonight?

We have the second-most counties in the U.S.

To answer your question, or at least address it, accept for mail in absentees, early voting is done on the a touchscreen machines. I wouldn't imagine it would be that hard to process them tonight.

Sadly, I'm going to miss the first two hours of results watching.

I have class from 5-8 Central. sigh Hopefully the interesting stuff comes after then. This will be extremely useful to see where we'll land if the election is close.

Ill likely be able to tell who won right away

Just by looking at a few early counties and they matched up to the November 4th vote.

In Georgia

the rural counties report first if I remember correctly. Thus why Chambliss was leading by like 5 points and McCain by 7 for most of the night in November until Atlanta starting coming in and shaved a couple points off of both.

Still, this table is useful for direct county comparisons.

Also, going off of CNN's county table, it looks like the Libertarian did better in the northwest part of the state, and worst in the rural African-American counties in the middle of the state. So we should be able to see early on if the Libertarian support is transferring over.

Right

That's the entire point of posting this chart -- so we can compare county-to-county numbers.

Its over

Chambliss will win this fairly handily. Columbia county looks like it has a huge turnout and Chambliss is showing a 10 point improvement there. I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a lot of elections like this for the next few years. Sometimes it really sucks to hold the White House, since you on the defensive all of the time.

jesus christ

shut the hell up! Has this guy provided one productive comment in a single thread? I dont see him post anything except for being a concerntroll. If this were paired with great posts in other threads, it'd be fine, but how much longer do we have to take of listening to this?

This special election has nothing to do with any other elections, NOTHING. This is Georgia, we all knew we would be heavily disadvantaged here, and tada, we were right. The fact we're competing in Georgia is good enough for me.

It was better in the 80's than the 90's

In the 1990's, a Republican Congress pretty much forced Clinton's agenda and then paved the way for George W. Bush to come in.

How am I full of shit?

At least in the 80's, we had something to protect us from Reagan's attempted Social Security cuts. From 2000-2006, we had no firewall against things like that and Social Security nearly got privitized.

by: BillNolan @ Tue Dec 02, 2008 at 19:50:36 PM CST

SS nearly got privatized?

In what universe did Social Security nearly get privatized? Trying to touch Social Security is one of the things that nearly killed the Republican party (not to mention Bush's horrible response to Katrina, the Terry Schaivo thing, and Frist's ridiculous attempt to force right-wing judges through). What you're saying is completely ridiculous.

It looked very possible in early 2005

Everyone was talking about how it was going to happen in Bush's second term.

Until everyone

quickly said hell no and Bush looked like an embarrassment, couldnt even get his first legislative goal after his re-election off the ground, hell out of the starting gate really.

by: Andrew @ Tue Dec 02, 2008 at 20:55:28 PM CST

[ Parent ]

No it wasn't

Bill Frist wouldn't have been able to keep his own caucus together to touch Social Security, much less win over any real support from the opposition (and believe me, the Democrats would've filibustered that and would've looked like damn heroes doing it).

What "everyone" says is not the same thing as what the reality is, and in this case it's pretty far off the mark.
