Live results | Georgia 6th District Congressional Special Election: Jon Ossoff v. Karen Handel

quote [ Democrats and Republicans have spent two months hunting for voters who cast ballots in 2016 but didn’t participate in the April primary. ]

UPDATE: Called for Republican Karen Handel. Not even that close.

It's being called a referendum on Trump. The seat has been reliably Republican for almost 40 years, when Newt Gingrich was elected to it.

UPDATE- Republican Ralph Norman wins SC 5th, as expected, but by a much closer margin than expected- a little over 3 percentage points in a district where Clinton lost by 19%.

And there is a movement to replace her...it has nothing to do with getting people elected.
