These aren't exact numbers, but it looks like turnout in Georgia's 2nd Congressional District (SW GA, rural counties with large black populations) is nearly 90% of what it was in November. In GA-9 (heavily GOP NW GA, where rump went Monday night), it's about 85%.

My 86 year old Aunt just called me and said that she saw me on @CNN and she wanted to share w/me that this is the first time in her life that she feels like her vote actually matters. She said, “Tosha you make me feel like Black people can win.” Y’all I’m moved beyond words. pic.twitter.com/gIioGOwzPU

Warnock and Ossoff may have reason to thank Trump for coming to Georgia last night and talking about Perdue and Loeffler — and, mainly, himself.

So far, we've got a decent cohort of rural, extremely Republican counties that are below 90% of November turnout levels.

That's got to worry Rs, b/c we know at least DeKalb – the biggest Dem vote trove in the state – is going to be *above* 90% of its November turnout level.
