Is voting in a special election like participating in the special olympics?
If so - I'm proud of your accomplishment.

Why is this moo fan starting new threads over here?
Well, are you going to share who you voted for or do you not want to get in a fight with one of those crazy liberal zealots like @BillyL?
I see that none of you watch the news. That's cool though. To each his own.
Because a man can only waste so many hours in the 12th incarnation of the "UNCheats Thread!!!111!!!! Death Penalty Imminent????" thread.
I try not to. And when I do mistakenly watch some news, the ones I'd be watching most certainly are not going to focus on GA state politics.
Care to enlighten the rest of us on what this election is, and why we should be interested?
I'm confused with this for two reason:
1. I thought republicans hated women and think they should stay in the kitchen
2. replace republicans with "white southerners" in #1
Because the media still thinks everyone hates trump and the republican candidate will lose every election because of trump.
Also, there is a good chance that a democrat could win because of GA's weird election setup. The winner of the race has to get 50% of the vote otherwise there will be a runoff. There are something like 10+ republicans in the field and 4 democrats, so it's possible that the vote will split in such a way that there would be a run off between two democrats.
Here's the district in map form:
Basically, it's a district that always goes red. Trump only won the district by like 1%, but that's an outlier. Usually it goes red by like a 20 point margin.
The election is to replace U.S. House Rep Tom Price, who resigned so that he could join Trump's cabinet. Dems see this special election as an opportunity to capitalize on anti-Trump sentiment. They're backing young Jon Ossoff.

Ordinarily, yes, but dems are basically all on Ossoff. He's the only one whose ads have been on TV (and they've been on nonstop). No other Democrat is really in the running.
But yes you would be correct ordinarily that it could turn into a run-off between two people from the same party.
Yeah, I guess what I was trying to get at is that there are so many people in the race that it could end up being a weird result. Also, GFY for not writing in Luke Maye.
When we are talking about a vote for Luke, you make it an option. No excuses.
I was wearing a Carolina shirt, and the cop at the precinct nodded at me as I walked past and said "nobody likes a bragger!"
That guy probably thought you were a lock for an Ossoff vote with that shirt on. Wonder if you threw off any exit polls that made that assumption as well.
Depressingly true. Or.... since it's a sleepy Atlanta suburb, he may not know the first thing about UNC or its campus political lean, lol.
I'm not, no. TarHeelNation12 is though.
I hope you walked to the polls. The roads around that joint are suspect. I have to go to Buford this week and I wish I had a helicopter.
You do realize your trip to Buford from Clemson won't take you far enough along 85 to reach the problem spot, right?
I think what he meant is he was worried about another road going out since 20 decided to just crack in half.
I guess GT engineers aren't as awesome as they think they are.
Well it's no nc state, amiright?
Yes, I do realize that. I also realize that the problem spot wasn't a problem until it opened-up and became one.
These three replies brought a tear to my eye. LET MY PEOPLE GO
What were you doing on April 15th @TarHeelNation11?
