**Primary Election Results for Tuesday May 24**

It's a sombre night in America with what's happening in Texas, but here are the early election results from Georgia.

Gov. Kemp with a huge lead, as expected, over Trump-endorsed former Senator Perdue:

1% in:

Kemp (75.9%)

Perdue (20.7%)

In the Republican primary for Georgia Secretary of State, Raffensperger is in a close fight with Hice.

As expected, Raphael Warnock (D) and Herschel Walker (R) win their respective primaries for the Georgia Senate race.

PROJECTION: Gov. Kemp of Georgia (R) wins his primary. A blow to Donald Trump.

In Alabama, Rep. Mo Brooks, who Trump unendorsed, is running 3rd in the Senate primary.

Kemp over Perdue by 50+ points, HA!

Indeed, Rory, it's an even bigger loss for Perdue than the polls predicted! The polls were predicting a 30-point loss. This is well beyond that so far.

On primary nights, I love watching CNN & MSNBC for all the election talk, but it's ruined tonight because now they want to talk about the shooting.

R8, yeah, this is a sad night and not a good night for election coverage. I'm feeling down myself.

Hopefully the idiot Perdue will realize he has no chance at a future in politics in Georgia and will go find something else to do. But these people are not sane and most of them never figure out that they can't win.

In other Georgia news, Raffensperger has opened up a large lead on Hice with nearly half the vote in.

Is Purdue the chicken guy. I like his chicken.

Thanks, Poll Troll!

Will Hice ask Raffensperger to find him 11,000 votes?

Daddy Raffensperger likely headed for a big win.

I don't know her

Fat tick, Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be the Republican nominee for Governor of Arkansas.

In Texas, Ken Paxton wins the Texas attorney general primary runoff election over George P. Bush.

These Republican primaries are mostly depressing since all the candidates are terrible. Good to see Trump’s endorsements fail, though.

The uber corrupt Paxton winning his primary is just more evidence of how woefully stupid Texas republican voters are.

Thanks for starting this thread, PT! It wouldn't be election night without you!!

Thanks, R13 & R21. 😊

Cuellar has a small lead over Cisneros in the Texas Democratic runoff for House District 28, with 63% of the vote in.

It's nice to see trump's "golden endorsements" are failing....

Looks like John King & Steve Kornacki got the night off.

Since there isn't much on TV I have been following the NYT

R17, that call has already been made and she gave her victory speech. I've been watching the coverage tonight on public television and they are almost reverent about her. She's like a queen with an entourage. Meanwhile Chris Jones, who did a good interview on MSNBC the other night is campaigning in every county, including rural areas and people appear receptive. I wonder whether she will be traveling all over the state like he is. She probably will, to appear at large events but it's like she expects to be crowned. And she can never mention Trump too often. I hope voters out there realize what is at stake and understand they don't need to vote for someone because she's a celebrity. .

Appreciate the results. I got in bed to read early as the shooting sickened me and I had to step away from the news. Did any of Trump's lackeys win besides Suckabeast?

Here's a bunch.

Did Trump endorse Jody Hice?

It looks like Cuellar will hold off the challenge from Cisneros in the Democratic runoff in Texas 28.

Yes, R30, Trump backed Hice.

Can we just nuke MTG's district? There is nothing remotely human about those scumbags. Despicable white trash.

Don't vote for my mother.

That hatchet-faced, gun-nut cunt MTG won her primary "easily", it seems, and on a day when 19 children were victims of gun violence. Fuck her and her district.

R35, yeah, Greene has almost 70% of the vote.

R31. I hate these woke Dems.

What I can't understand is why all of the Trump picks in GA are doing poorly except his stupidest pick: Walker. Are those stupid hicks really going to let that stupid man become a senator just because he played football?

Jesus fucking Christ, can the south not constantly be predictable in its idiocy

Warnock will beat Walker in the general election. He probably would have had a harder time beating any other candidate.

R38, Hershel Walker was probably the best footballer ever at UGA and Georgia football is practically a religion for many in the state.

R39, but the turnout for Walker is frightening. 800K votes for him and Warnock got around 600K. I'm worried (and I swear I'm not a troll)/

R40, fine, then make him a fucking coach for that college team. You don't make that moron a senator! I swear, voters this stupid shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Voting should be contingent on a high IQ score.

It's the South, where college football is king. See ignorant Tuberville in Alabama. During the peak of covid, our governor in Louisiana had to have the LSU football coach come out with him at a press conference to promote safety measures like masks. Turns out that was a bit much and people turned on him and he was eventually fired.

Britt and Brooks advance to the runoff for the Republican nomination for the Alabama Senate seat, although the likely winner is Britt.

I wonder if Trump will re-endorse Brooks given that he did better than expected?

CNN:

Republican voters in Georgia on Tuesday showed there are limits to how seriously the party will entertain former President Donald Trump's grievances.

6 takeaways from primaries in Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas:

^ I know this is not a popular opinion but this is why moderate Republicans need to stay in the Republican Party.

LSU fired their coach because he lost football games not because he endorsed mask wearing.

Herschel Walker has Miss Lindsey tingling with delight.

[quote]Ken Paxton wins the Texas attorney general primary runoff election over George P. Bush

The Bush crime family's collapse is complete!

Right after the Texas school shooting, Paxton said that no laws can prevent shootings nd that he would rather see more guns in circulation to "protect" the people.

[quote] Jesus fucking Christ, can the south not constantly be predictable in its idiocy

Where are you with your ignorant bigoted comments when some republican in a state outside the south gets reelected? That's right, you don't want to mention those, do you? People like you are even more predictable than the "stupid hicks" you despise.

Lindsay has set a new low mark by endorsing Walker.

R53 indeed. R38 is espousing regional bigotry. Characters such as Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, Doug Mastriano, Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Kevin McCarthy, Scott Perry, Jim Banks, and on and on. Trump himself, is a product of New York City and flourished for decades there. I am from Pennsylvania, and that is no bastion of eastern establishment liberalism.

[quote]Lindsay has set a new low mark by endorsing Walker.

Walker got Ladybug's juices stirring.

It is not about a coherent political ideology. Walker struggles to articulate even a small fraction of that.

Can't wait for a debate between Walker and Warnock, mussy TV!

R54 That's all we ever hear with these shitbag politicians. This one reached a new low and that one reached a new low. Wake up people. There is no limit to how far they will go. This country is going down the tubes and the Dems are sitting around worrying about the wrong things. Now is the time to act like adults, get your party in order, banish the fringe element of the party, get tough, get real and quit rubbing your collective pussies. We've got work to do.

[quote] Can't wait for a debate between Walker and Warnock, mussy TV!

That's never going to happen. Brain dead Walker has already said he will never debate. I'm sure his people have worked hard to make sure he never does a debate because even they know his brain is FUBARed and would show the voters how brain damaged he is.

To R55, do you want to know why I specifically targeted the south? Because not only does it have the nerve to unleash these genuinely stupid imbeciles on the entire country with its idiocy, but it has the nerve to do it on my fucking dime. All of those fucking states that scream about "socialism" LIVE OFF OF IT. I have every fucking right to be pissed off when a fucking hick from KY tells my state to "go bankrupt" during covid when his parasitic state lives off of mine. I can only imagine what the situation would be if the shoe were on the other foot and red, southern states were the ones with all of the money. You think a cent would get to a blue state in need?

And all of those names you mentioned: There is a difference between being stupid and being evil. With what the south sends, it's both stupid and evil. Correction: With what WHITE southerners send, because black women in particular are the only reason Doug Jones ever got there. And what happened to him? Well those fucking white southerners were anxious to send a meathead football coach who knows less than shit including not knowing three god damned branches of govt.

And you can say whatever shit you want about someone like AOC, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't think it's called the "Gazpacho Police" - and that cavewoman easily won her district - and she initially beat out a neurosurgeon.

So spare me your whining, because that fucking part of the country has done more than its fare share to destroy this country and they do it with their fucking hand out.

R60, I couldn’t have said it better.

R60 is obviously on the 4th day of a 2 day pad. Does anyone have any fresh sanitary napkins she can use?

Is there a recent poll for the Warnock/Walker race, PollTroll? Jesus, if that imbecile is leading in the polls, we're truly doomed.

Walker is leading in the republican polls. That doesn't mean he's going to beat Warnock.

And yet, r60 is impeccably accurate, while you mull over whether he/she has her period, r62.

Angry R60 seems to have never been anywhere in the south. More people in California voted for Trump than in Georgia. Republicans dominate in the south, and there are deplorable politicians and voters galore. That is not unique to one region. Stereotyping is not a solution. Anywhere, negativity can be applied. Federal income taxes rates apply to individuals, not a calculation proportioned by states. Revenue redistributed to states involves pork, grants, social security, etc. Education funds are proportioned at near 6% for each state. State taxes don't transfer to other states. Poverty figures impact returns from certain programs. States with comparatively less industry and less high tech revenue, will have underemployment figures that enhance eligibilities in certain federal calculations.

[quote]More people in California voted for Trump than in Georgia

More people in California voted than in Georgia, period. That means nothing.

Bigots on here from crime infested domains. Good luck with your NYC Mayor and your Dianne Feinsteins.

I have a name, R68. And..... New Yorkers love me.

All these northerners that escape or retire to the south need to stop doing so. They don't want to pay taxes, are far more right-wing fascists than local rednecks, destroy the environment with their "Villages", flock to places such as Asheville and vote for Cawthorn, fund Marjorie Taylor Green and Krysten Sinema. They vote against funding schools, but live off entitlements. Who retires to the rust belt? White and black Californians are flocking to Texas.

R63, it's a close race in the polls between Warnock & Walker. Walker has had a lead in several of the Georgia polls conducted this year, although Warnock had a lead in the most recent poll conducted in late April by SurveyUSA:
