The urban vote explains why GA got swept rather than split
The urban-suburban-exurban voting shows the shift in the south like elsewhere for a cosmopolitan American electorate. Stacey Abrams may have saved America.

Ossoff and Warnock are both on track for victory with a greater than 95% chance to win, according to our estimates.
This is not a projection, but the remaining vote–including another 18k DeKalb early votes and nearly 100k absentee votes–overwhelmingly favors the Democrats pic.twitter.com/SLaECHdFeT— Nate Cohn (@Nate_Cohn) January 6, 2021

Rationale: O/W are over performing across the state and turnout has held up very well in Dem-heavy areas.
They are leading with most outstanding vote still from Atlanta.
I haven't built a fancy model, and I could very easily be wrong (I venture $0), but this looks done.

If this holds, a lot of hottakes about the meaning of 2020 for the future of our politics might have to be torn up. Recall that in my Q and A with @Redistrict he said downballot Rs were lifted by Trumpified turnout: https://t.co/yc3s7RzYUq https://t.co/Z2buCcEzkH

Loeffler and Purdue have been unethical Senators, trading stocks on private information. Neither was an especially effective representative for Georgia nor an admirable national leader. From a nonpartisan, good government perspective, both deserve to lose.

Election officials in Georgia were allowed to start processing mail ballots 2 weeks before election. This is why results coming quickly. Imagine the damage that could’ve been avoided if GOP legislatures in Michigan, Pennsylvania & Wisconsin had done the same

If this actually happens, if they actually win, the discussion is over:
Stacey Abrams saved America.
