voter fraud, obviously.

or they ran average candidates against incumbents, the republicans had incredibly high turnout, too, and they didn't quite get there two or three times.

Other than Maine.

Still though, you'd have to win one Georgia senate race to get control of the senate with Biden as President. And if you can win one, you may as well go for two.

You mean like North Carolina and Maine?

Maine went blue by 10 points, North Carolina was closer then Michigan.

Their elaborately constructed voter fraud conspiracy somehow only worked to elect Biden but not their senators

Also, Collins is a moderate Republican (which is how she got elected in Maine in the first place). You could get her to basically caucus with the Democrats maybe

Collins approval ratings are really bad and she's in a blue state and she was behind in the polls, I'm still really surprised she won by such a convincing margin

I'd still try to bribe her with a cabinet position, but i dunno if she'd bite. also, only works if NC flips or GA comes through. which... it's still Georgia.

Georgia has 2 runoff elections in January. They will win at least one Democratic Senator in Raphael Warnock and after the Biden win, hopefully voters turn out for John Ossoff so we can add 2 dems and be at 48 Dems, 48 Republicans, and 2 independents.

Only one independent or republican has to vote with Dems, and then Kamala can cast a tie breaking vote

Who you calling average?
Not Jaime Harrison or Mj Hegar. Hell no!

I just realized that Bernie Sanders is registered as an independent senator. So...yeah, we're about to control the Senate

Split-ticket voting.

I have a feeling that most people were done with Trump in the White House, but didn't want to give the Democrats full control of the government.

this seems optimistic for a guy who only got 1 vote in 3. i think the other runoff is much more competitive. based solely on Tuesday's results.

How do you see a path for Warnock? If you combine the votes for the two R candidates in his election, he lost by a landslide.

It's a jungle election. There were additional democratic, republican, libertarian, and independent candidates all on the ballot. Turnout in January is going to be nowhere near what it was in November so both republicans will be safe.

Cause checks an balances is a good thing. Both sides need to learn how to work together and compromise, and yes the GOP is the biggest offender on that front
