Discussion Thread: Georgia Senate Runoff Elections

Posted: 05 Jan 2021 03:00 AM PST

Today, voters in Georgia cast their ballots in the runoff election for both their regularly scheduled Senate election, and the special Senate election from the retirement of former Senator Johnny Isakson. In the regular election, former Republican Senator David Perdue (who technically vacated this seat on Sunday because of how the election was scheduled), the previous incumbent, faces off against Democrat Jon Ossoff. In the runoff, Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler faces off against Democrat and Ebenezer Baptist Church pastor Raphael Warnock.

As Republicans currently hold a 51-48 majority in the Senate, the winner of the vacated regular Senate seat and Senator Loeffler's seat will determine the party which controls the Senate. As a result, this special election has generated tremendous interest and a large volume of votes despite the historically low turnout that runoff elections attract. Already, nearly 3.1 million Georgians have voted, and turnout today will be decisive in determining whether the GOP holds on to these seats, or Democrats win their first Senate race in Georgia in 20 years.

For Georgian redditors, polls are open from 7AM to 7PM. If you are in the line when polls close, you will be allowed to vote still. Georgia does not have same day voter registration. Check your registration status to see if it is current, and remember to bring proper voter identification. If you haven't yet voted and are eligible to do so, please take the time today to cast your ballot!
