Slowly but surely flipped blue. 2016 when Hillary Clinton flipped two of the three biggest suburban counties. The other reason is the white vote. Polls show joe biden getting about 20 20 9 of the white vote in georgia. Racially polarized state like georgia, that means the state becomes competitive. 2016, hillaryt to clinton got only 21 of the thee vote for host white vote. Host how do you look at those who have already voted and those who expect to turn up . Record 3. 9ave a Million People who have already cast ballots the selection. Our turnout record in georgia is 4. 1 million. We have almost exceeded the entire 2016 turnout in georgia. Includingunties, bigger counties have already exceeded that. What the election day looks like, nobody knows. Figure, and this has historically been true, democrats tend to win the early vote. No one knows how much the surge in early voting has affected that if republicans and democrats are cannibalizing their election. What we do know is one Million People have been added to the role since 2016, making the electorate younger and more racially diverse than ever before. Host we are just seeing this coming over the wires. In spalding county, there are reports by cbs that all of the Voting Machines are down in that county. Talk about election machine security overall in light of this news . This is through one of the biggest issues we will be tracking. All day today. Election related issues. We have a new voting system. In the june primary, it was a disaster. We had hours long lines. People waiting up to 10 hours to vote. Bringing lawn chairs and accessories, which is always a problem. What we have heard so far is scattered issues not only in spalding county, but to cap Fulton County which is democratically leading leaning. What the secretary of state has warned of his long lines, urging people to be patient and stay in line. That is what democrats are saying too. Come with a plan and stay in line. Be patient. As it comes to results, will we find out tonight who wins georgia . Guest i do not think so. I think we will have a replay of 2018 between Stacey Abrams and Governor Kemp or there are still tens of thousands of mailin ballots that need to be tallied. Usually, those are always county counted, but there are an afterthought. As georgia has come closer and closer, no way can project the winners of the races without tallying those votes. We might have hundreds of thousands that remain to be counted. If you look at the margins in georgia in 2012, 2014, republicans won. In 2016, President Trump one by five points. In 2018, Governor Kemp by 1. 5 points. You can see the trendline getting closer and closer. Host lets highlight some of those races. David purdue against jon ossoff. What is important to know . Guest can polls. Youve got a former fortune 500 chief executive david purdue, who won a wideopen race in 20 2018 as an outsider. He wear a jean jacket. Calling himself the disrupter.

House race where he ended up losing to karen handel by four points, but raised 30 million in the process. Is running as an anticorruption advocate. Someone who will clean up washington and not be loyal to President Trump. With a Third Party Candidate in the race, there is a chance this race goes into a runoff even if hazel gets a point or two. Host a special senate race would be involved . Guest that is even more chaotic. There are 21 candidates to qualify. Was appointed by governor camp, she is a formal Financial Executive whose husband owns the Atlantic Company that runs the new york stock exchange. They have pumped more than 33 million in this campaign another part other republican campaigns since january, which is astonishing.
