Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) won reelection Tuesday, fending off a spirited challenge from Republican Herschel Walker while helping Democrats grow their thin Senate majority in the midterm elections after a bruising four-week runoff campaign.
Warnock was leading Walker 50.4% to 49.6% when the race was called, earning the senator his first, full six-year term after ousting an appointed Republican incumbent in a special election runoff nearly two years ago. Walker’s defeat was a major blow to the Republicans. They capped a disappointing midterm election season with yet another loss that effectively surrendered a Senate seat to the Democrats, who saw their majority grow from 50 to 51.

But what about the 3 extra days of absentee ballot acceptance??? Could that trunkload somehow not be needed now?

What is the future for conservatives in our beloved country? The Republican Party can’t seem to deliver on much of anything. I’m depressed.

Another 2020 steal state, same patterns, same treason. Jan. was not the coup, Nov. 4th was and so it continues in 2022, the same criminal traitors because no one is willing to do anything about it.

Rino's are happy tonight. Their plan is to DESTROY the MAGA arm of the Republican party just like they destroyed the TEA PARTY arm.

Who says it's over?
We're supposed to have three weeks of rep operatives making phone calls n curing ballots plus find some uncounted thumb drives.
What. That's what happens when we are winning a close election on election day

Mitch "MultiUseless" McConnell is probably calling Warnock and congratulating him. MultiUseless listens and obeys to Chuck Schumer.

How is it that, if a Republican is leading after all the votes are counted, they can't call the election for the Republican for a week or two to make sure that all the absentee votes (and illegal Demon-Rat vote dumps) are counted.?
But if a Demon-Rat is ahead, they call the race before all the votes are even counted?
Silly question -- I know...

I also can't wait to hear the "conservative" scolds who will tell us tomorrow that we just have to turn out in big enough numbers to overcome the cheating. Right. There are no numbers big enough, because they will always have "just a few more" that they need.

What happened to every vote must be counted. I’ve heard that countless times from the democrats. Herschel can try to fight this, but he will still lose to the wife abusing reverend.

The demosluts had an outright majority even if Walker had won. Now if Manchin and Sinema voted with the Republicans, it would be different.

One happy camper is Mitch McConnell who will now be able to gloat that yet another Trump selection bit the dust, even though it is he, as leader, who lost the Senate in 2020 and lost another seat in 2022. In any real organization that had failed so badly, McConnell and the two stiffs that flank him while he mumbles to the press, would be booted out as abject failures.

If by ''fends off'' you mean ''outspent'' then you may be right. The AH republicans have zipped up their wallets and the all-cash all the time Democrats all over the world have meddled in Georgia politics x 10. If they really prefer a baby-killing preacher for their true representative, then what do you expect?

Stop it. Georgia wasn't stolen. Walker lost.
He was out spent, out campaigned and out classes. Walker was the GOP nominee for one reason only. He didn't have a message and way too many skeletons in the closet. Warnock ran ads 24/7 beating Walker like a drum. And don't forget that of the 8 state wide races, Republicans won 7 of them.
Ya'll forget that Georgia was a blue state until 2002. I've been saying it for four years that the GOP was taking Georgia for granted. The 2018 mid-term election should have been a wake up call when Abrams came within 50000 votes to being the Governor.
And for the record, Kemp has been a good governor. Oh sure.....he didn't illegally overturn the 2020 election results and hand the win to Trump. But aside from not doing something illegal, he's been a good governor. Who somehow managed a 5% win in his re-election bid.

To say that Warnock "outclassed" Walker is ignoring the fact that Warnock ran over his own wife, among other discretions.

The democrat vote counting system knows how many votes are needed at any given time and generates that number plus a few over, just to make it look fair

I am certain that DJT's involvement in the primaries lost us the Senate. Folks, we can love DJT, but many people just don't like him. Instead of whining about 2020, we should have focused like a laser in getting out the vote and holding our noses and accepting the fact that winning even with a RINO here and there is better than what has just happened.

Thanks, Benedict Turtle McConnell--
Taking away money from those who were not RINOcrats really helped this along.
You are a TRAITOR to your party and public enemy #1 to the conservative base of the republican party.
It is up to U.S. now folks..... time to personally get engaged to save our nation. Start at the local level and protect your home cities and counties and GET RID of career RINOs who sell you out seeking THEIR OWN priviledge and bank account.

This shows how the evil cancer that is Atlanta, has done to the state. I just drove through there yesterday, and was reminded again how much I hate everything about Atlanta and their miserable, hideous traffic disaster.
Atlanta is an absolute cancer on the state, and the country. Nothing good there, like Chicago and NY.

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a ........". When the GOP give us candidates like Walker and Oz, you know they don't care about winning. As a Conservative, I just can't stomach the GOP any longer.

Republicans won a lot of races in GA, but not Walker. Let's see that makes NH, PA, AZ, NV and now GA Senate races have been lost. What do the all have in common - the losers were all Trump hand picked candidates. Independents and far too many women will not vote for anybody associated with Trump - that message is clear. Republican candidates in GA who were not hand picked by Trump won. I don't know how may elections we have to lose before we learn that Trump is toxic to a large number of voters - Trump and his candidates cannot win general elections.

So now the narrative is that Walker failed to publicly crawl on his knees to Trump and beg for his support? And/or that the GOP wouldn't allow Trump to campaign for Walker, as if Trump takes his orders from the GOP rather than being the defacto leader of the GOP, by virtue of his popularity? It was obvious that control of the Senate was at stake, the very body in which a Republican majority prevented Trump from being removed from office and permanently banned, not just once but twice.

No longer are our elections free and fair. The communist death democrats are firmly in control. Forget about 2024, by then the elections will be totally rigged no matter who runs as the republican candidate. We are no longer a Constitutional Republic.
Choices:
1. Purge and reform the republican party - Do not see this happening as of today or tomorrow. If we had a real republican party then they would be supporting Kari Lake in contesting her stolen elections. By the way if Kari Lake is being cheated and refusing to concede because the Arizona elections are totally corrupt, what about Blake Masters Senate election? Has he concede and if so why did he when his election has to be as corrupt as the Governor's race. No republican candidate should concede.
2. Mass civil disobedience against the communist federal government including unconstitutional rulings by the Federal and Some state Courts. Refuse to obey.
3. Red States band together and take back their sovereignty rights from the Communist Federal Government and push back against all the Federal Agencies. Make sure the National Guard is under their control.
4. Spontaneous Mass uprisings occur when food, fuel, electricity are scarce, rationed, or no longer available. Of course the sheeple in California are already accepting these daily occurrences without a peep. Not a good sign.
5. Hot Civil War - God Forbid.
One other comment - Stop blaming our lawfully re-elected President Trump for these election losses which are a combination of the republican traitors like McConnell and McCarthy and Rona Romney McDaniel sabotaging so many candidates, absolute rampant cheating by the communist death democrats and their tech and media allies, and the republican traitors going along with the cheating.
How can Georgia elect a republican governor and not a republican Senator?
