The Georgia Elections
January 5, 2021 12:28 PM   Subscribe

Today, Tuesday, January 5th the people of Georgia are voting in a run-off election for two Senate races. The balance of the Senate could depend on the results: if Democrats win both elections, then the Senate will be 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breakers.

The polls will close and vote counts will begin trickling in at 7 pm Eastern Standard Time. Both Democratic candidates are leading in the aggregate polls, but by a small margin.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, the Washington Post revealed excerpts of a telephone call from Trump to Georgia Secretary of State as discussed in this thread.

Not sure if it counts, but there's an active thread on sort of the same topic?

Reminder: We likely won’t know the results of the Georgia Senate runoffs tonight — possibly for days.

Oh, I think I know of one orange man who will be pretty confident he can announce the results tonight.

I'm not sure he cares that much--it's not obviously about him. He'll probably just keep announcing the results of the November election, over and over.
