Special elections in GA--Dems flip TWO GOP seats!!!

Nathaniel Rakich? @baseballot

Special elections seem so last year, but we have another one: in GA HD-117, Dems flip a GOP seat 53–47% (was a Trump +3 seat).

Replying to @baseballot

And in Georgia HD-119, the Democrat won 57% in a 51% Trump seat. Another D->R special-election flip.

Had it not been for Comey we would have won the 2016 election in a landslide. And, yes, StevieM Nov 2017 #5

Even with Comey, we continued to trend bluer relative to past elections. dawg Nov 2017 #10

GA Dems may pull off a stunning heist: could take both runoff spots in a state Senate special election for GOP-held seat! (That'd end GOP supermajority.)

there's a LOT of buyers' remorse out there. now maybe the republicans will see that keeping trump on in spite of everything will not work. maybe now they will allow the articles of impeachment to be brought in and maybe now we'll be rid of the menace of trump.

2018 looking pretty good right now. 2020 too.

hope lives.
