GEORGIA OVERNIGHT:  The vote count is stuck at 99%, with Warnock leading Loeffler by a point or so, and Perdue about 1,200 votes ahead of Ossoff.  Many of the commentators are acting as if the Dems have already won both seats.  We'll see.

We're watching a familiar pattern.  At the end of the night there's a dump of ballots from Dem areas, with the announcement that other ballots from a big city are still to be counted.  As Deroy Murdock said on Fox, when someone in a big city, where machines are used, tells you there are "uncounted" votes seven hours after the polls closed, you'd better look with both eyes.

I can't deny my suspicions.  Be back tomorrow.

BULLETIN – AT 11:21 P.M. ET:  And it is not a good one.  After several hours with Republicans holding a slight lead in both Georgia Senate races, the situation has changed dramatically.  With 95% of the vote counted, the Republican lead is gone.  The Ossoff/Purdue race is tied, and extreme radical Democrat Raphael Warnock is now holding a slight lead over Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler.  The general belief is, and it could be wrong, that most of the outstanding votes are Democratic.  Some, of course, may be Republican, especially military ballots, which are yet to be counted. Conditions don't look good for us, but the counting isn't finished.
