I would argue that runoff systems are far superior to traditional elections. I would also argue that rank choice is even more superior, but this is not a reality anywhere in America (that I know of). So, for the short term, runoffs are a much better system. The short version is it (both) allow you to initially vote for your favorite candidate without being labelled a "spoiler" and many other features. I am very big on runoff systems for both stormwater and voting. |

think it might be a landslide Why go out and vote for this clown. It's not like a regular vote where multiple offices are up for grabs. I just can't see people going out of there way to vote only for him. He's the epitome of dumb jock.

I would not go so far as to say landslide, it is GA after all, look at MTG, having an IQ above 60 is not a requirement. I think the fact that the Dems already locked the Senate down goes in Walker's favor, because it will encourage a lot of Dems on the edge to stay home. I still think Warnock will solidly win, but its not going to be as large of win as it would have been. A more critical election probably would have played better for Warnock (though its hard to say, you could say the same about the right, some of the right may be equally not caring at this point and just stay home). But, I still think it slightly favors Walker. |

In 2022 Senate races were held for seats held by 14 Democrats and 20 Republicans. PA senate seats was held by a Republican but Republlican party failed to hold the seat. The GA runoff election is no longer critical since Dr. Oz's loss in PA means that the control of the Senate is already determined. Emphasis should move to 2024. These are the Democratic senators who won by the smallest margin in 2018 49.6% West Virginia Joe Manchin 50.0% Arizona Kyrsten Sinema 50.3% Montana Jon Tester 50.4% Nevada Jacky Rosen |

I cannot agree with your thinking at all! The ONLY reason MOST of the Republicans were voting for Walker was for Senate control. The Democrats were voting for Warnock for a multitude of reasons…. Senate control, he has an IQ above 100, he isn’t Walker! And I doubt most Georgia Republicans are smart enough to realize that this race is AS IMPORTANT as any Senate race in 2024 for Senate control then. My guess…. Warnock 52.2%. Walker 47.8%. |

Again, I have very little interest in politics but I must say I was happy to see this result. To me Walker just seems so uneducated and dumb I was happy the Georgia population was smart enough to not elect him. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
