Correctamundo Old Friend.
It is not so much who controls the polls, but who controls the ballot box; long a Democrat maxim. I Our of my 5 general election victories, I had one recount, whereby I was challenged when I only won by about 45 votes. When it looked like I would prevail against the Democrat Board of Election, the local Democrat Newspaper - The Washington Daily News - wrote an editorial stating: "If Stan Deatherage really cared about the county taxpayer, he would concede and not unduly cost the already strapped taxpay for the cost of the recount." I reiterate, I'm the candidate that won the race and was challenged. I tend to have a very honest understanding of the Democrat /Liberal mind; and, you know, 'a mind is a terrible thing to waste'.

Since North Carolina is going through the lawsuits about redistricting, I thought it would be interesting to show how Gerrymandering affects a district in Georgia.
Jon Ossoff lost by about 10,000 votes. Democrats won both neighboring districts with a 351,644 vote Democratic margin. Which prompted the question show below. There were plenty of Democratic votes to spare in both the adjacent districts.  Urban areas make it extremely difficult to draw a demographic neutral district. Drawing the districts is reminiscent of Stalin's quote “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.” Sounds Like a Democrat to me.

These core Democrats have got to have that warm, reassuring feeling around their ankles right now; some to be working its way up their leg kind of like a Chris Mathews "tingle".
At this point, they better get some real solid dirt on the President and his team, or, it could be lights out for the Liberals /Socialists.

Stan, you know this much better than anything I can imagine.
If you feel that everything is okay because you have a warm feeling, look around you may be in a pile of $h!t. (my old man)

Fine work B.T. on giving us the politically scientific overview.
What may be the case here in Georgia's 6th District may translate into these very poor election results turning even worse if the Democrats continue down their monolithic path of destroying President Trump at all costs.

The district has changing demographics and does not represent a solid Republican district any more. Trump only won by 1.5% but Price won by 61%. As you might suspect the old OCD Rooster has researched the numbers trying to understand the changes.

A huge campaign war chest can make a significant difference, and he did outwardly appear to be a good candidate. If he had run in a district that included mostly Charlotte, he would have won.

It scares me that Ossoff got 47% of the vote without living in Atlanta and no experience.
