Yeah, it's going to be very interesting. In the Ossoff / Perdue race the Libertarian vote could be the winning difference.

There were 20 (count 'em, folks, 20) candidates in the other race, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents. Vote breakdown is GOP 2,442,219 Dem 2,373,656 Independent 59,130. Libertarian 50,666 (if I didn't fuck up the calculator). Again it's down to the Libertarians and Independents.

But the biggest factor, IMO, is turnout, historically lower in run-offs.

Pretty much still a crap shoot.
