Democrats have portrayed the runoff for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, which will take place tomorrow, as a referendum on Trump’s first months in office. The runoff pits Democrat Jon Ossoff against Republican Karen Handel in a race that has drawn national attention and historic levels of spending with Ossoff raising an astounding $23 million.
According to the Real Clear Politics average, Ossoff holds 2.6 point advantage in recent polls. That said, just like last November, we would be shocked if there weren’t some “oversamples” in that polling data which means tomorrow night could be a very long evening for Ossoff and Handel.
And, just like the the national election, the outcome of tomorrow’s contest will ultimately come down to voter turnout. As The Hill points out, Ossoff will need black voters to turn out in much greater numbers than they did for Hillary. As for Handel, strategists say that female turnout will be the key to her ultimate performance.
As The Hill points out, with less than 24 hours until polls open, the Democratic machine is in overdrive today with their “Get Out The Vote” efforts.
“The GOTV effort is huge and critical,” Ossoff told a small group of reporters Sunday at his Chamblee field office.
“We’re doing everything we can to make sure folks know when and where to vote and how. And making the case for fresh leadership given what’s going on in Washington. And that sending another career politician to D.C. ain’t going to change anything.”
“This is going to be an extraordinarily close election and it’s going to be a late night on Tuesday,” he said. “Every vote will count.”
