hopefully she helped him like she as helped her cause.The wonderful Marjorie Taylor Greene lives up there somewhere... in the 14th CD, in the northwest corner of Georgia. She campaigned for Walker and donated money and was even cited for excessive campaign contributions to Walker by Georgia's state Democratic Party officials, but the FEC dismissed it 5-0 with 1 not voting, decidingi that it was a low priority item because "it wasn't a lot of money." The accusation was that past the limit of $2000 for a straight-up to-candidate contribution, she had also contributed $3k worth of Facebook ads which amounted to in-kind contributions and so took her total contribution over the limit. But she was cleared so Walker got $5k worth of help from her.

The Georgia Democratic Party said Greene's campaign illegally boosted Herschel Walker's Senate campaign, but the Federal Election Commission unanimously disagreed.www.businessinsider.com

Yeah if you scroll around some of the red counties in the NPR map, you can see where Walker didn't get up into the 70-80% mark he needed consistently enough. There are quite a few where he was only in the high 50s mid 60s. And he needs way more than that of those rural votes to counteract Warnock getting 80% or better of the urban and suburban component -- a lot of which isn't even in yet.
There was some Republican county chair in a rural area saying she felt Walker should have been going around to the churches like Warnock did. Maybe Walker was counting on his past football cred to carry him without bothering with that level of door to door. It was not a good sign either that he was often polling below Brian Kemp (governor's race) in the November elections in some of those rural counties.

This is with an estimated 91% of the vote in. Please, please, please change.

Almost every time Walker increased his percentage over the general election, so did Warnock, and usually by a greater percentage. And Warnock has outperformed his general election percentage in many other areas. Still incredibly close for a dolt like Walker. This is the third Trump senate endorsement to lose in Georgia.
It’s a matter of counting I think. The numbers don’t look like they’re there for Walker.

Fulton and Cobb counties are not even 80% in and they're going for Warnock with plenty votes left to count yet.

And most Republican counties are at 99%, we'll probably see more outlets making the call within the hour.

Dems turned out the vote big time... and FiveThirtyEight shows the upside for Ds tonight over how Warnock did in the general election. It's up even for Ds in counties that Walker is winning.

He was hand picked by Trump, who is directly responsible for this loss. Had Republicans actually chosen a more viable candidate they likely would've won. Until the party decides as a whole to distance themselves and denounce him they're just going to keep losing ground they could handily win otherwise. He's the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats.
