Rural counties turnout down 80-90% from November .
Black voters showed up.
Turnout in rural counties dropped
to 80-90% of its November level. Which is a huge fucking turnout for a special election in early January!
It's just that the dropoff in turnout from the general seems to be even smaller in Dem-leaning areas, giving Dems a slight turnout advantage compared to the November election. But keep in mind that Republicans had a lead in both Senate races in November, so the Dem candidates do indeed have to make up some ground to win.

Heh, I had the opposite. Loeffler doesn't have an incumbency advantage like Perdue does. I also think that a reverend at MLK's church (Warnock) has a higher likelihood of increasing turnout than some random Jew.
And Loeffler is just a really bad candidate, reeks of swampiness.
