Trump Goes After Democrat in Georgia’s Special Election
Jon Ossoff is polling in the upper 30's low 40's probably won't make the 50% needed to avoid a run off election.
Dems want this seat bad but doubt it's going to happen. Polling stations open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.
Millions spent on this special election. Some where around 14 million.
Trump Goes After Democrat in Georgia’s Special Election
Washington (AP) -- President Donald Trump is attacking the leading Democratic candidate running in a special election in a conservative Georgia congressional district.On Twitter Monday, Trump said:
The super Liberal Democrat in the Georgia Congressioal race tomorrow wants to protect criminals, allow illegal immigration and raise taxes!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2017
Republicans are trying to prevent a massive upset in the primary on Tuesday. Democrats have united behind 30-year-old former congressional staffer Jon Ossoff, who has been boosted by opposition to Trump and an $8 million fundraising haul.The primary includes 18 candidates — Republicans, Democrats and Independents. Republicans hope to force a June runoff with the GOP's top candidate by keeping Ossoff below 50 percent of the vote.The Georgia primary comes a week after Republicans won a closer-than-expected special congressional victory in Kansas.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Republicans catch up to Democrats in Georgia special election early voting
Republican voters in Georgia’s special election have caught up to the hefty advantage that Democrats built in early voting, according to two elections analyses, and are poised to take the lead on Friday.'Democrat Jon Ossoff’s campaign for the suburban Atlanta district was buoyed by early numbers that gave left-leaning voters a sizable lead in the early voting.
But that’s all but vanished as the Tuesday election nears and more early voting sites open.One reason the Democratic voter numbers may have stalled: While Democrats appeared to quickly consolidate around Ossoff, the leading contender of five Democrats on the ballot, Republicans may have taken longer to choose between the 11 GOP contenders on the ballot.Nate Cohn, the New York Times polling expert, tweeted that roughly 42 percent of the 46,000 or so early ballots cast are from Democratic-leaning voters, while Republican-leaning voters have cast 41 percent of the ballots. He predicted Republicans will take the lead on Friday, the final day of early voting.

Re: Trump Goes After Democrat in Georgia’s Special Election
So, some activist from outside the district is trying to meddle in this election?
Shocking!
If it's the DCCC it's bad. If its Trump, not so much.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
