Today the runoff election for senator concludes in Georgia, early voting has been happening. Neither Warnock nor Walker got over 50% in November as there was a third party candidate on that ballot who got a few votes.
A month ago Democrat Warnock got a few more votes than Walker. GA experienced considerable unusual ticket splitting last month, Republican Gov. Kemp won reelection handily. He has been out campaigning for Walker.
Democrats are assured of control in the Senate no matter who wins, but given the independence of Sens. Sinema and Manchin, today’s outcome still has practical consequences. Perhaps we will know the outcome tonight, something we once took for granted but no longer seem able to do.
