A Georgia election official said early Wednesday morning that it is “safe to say” there will be a Senate runoff election in the state.
“While county officials are still doing the detailed work on counting the votes, we feel it is safe to say there will be a runoff for the US Senate here in Georgia slated for December 6,” Gabriel Sterling, the Georgia secretary of state’s chief operating officer, said on Twitter.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) held a slim lead over Republican challenger Herschel Walker with about 98 percent of the vote counted as of Wednesday morning.
However, Warnock had not breached the 50 percent needed to avoid a runoff in the Peach State, meaning the two will likely face off once again on Dec. 6. The AP has yet to officially call the race.
Warnock and Walker were locked in a tight race for most of the midterm election.
Questions about Walker’s chances were raised in October amid allegations from multiple women that the staunch anti-abortion candidate previously pressured them to obtain abortions, and in one instance paid for the procedure, but the former NFL star regained ground on Warnock in polling during the final weeks of the campaign.

However, 44 percent also said they viewed Warnock as “too extreme.”
The race is expected to be key in determining control of the Senate, with multiple races for the upper chamber still unresolved as of Wednesday morning. Updated at 7:35 a.m.
Well I guess that settled it
People should be aware that eighty thousand plus votes went to a libertarian candidate
That would have been more than enough to put Walker over the top
I’m sick of libertarians continuing to elect democrats
From a Twitter poster:
Notice how Florida magically became a deep red state after DeSantis banned Zuckerburcks, started arresting people for election fraud, and enacted safe guards?”
Will be about turnout.
People didn’t show up in 2020 once Trump was off the ballot.
Whole Senate may turn on that race. We are still up in Nevada.
Runoffs are how Warnock wins elections.

We gotta get the green party back on the ballots

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
that could be a little different twist to the dems indy vote cheat.
iirc, MI 2016 green party candidates were redirected to hildabeast, but something about a run off kept the lid on that cheat.
maybe now they could be taking votes from walker & assigning adjudicating them to the libertarian?
Drop boxes are how Warnock wins elections. And Dominion machines.
Definitely. I'm already being spammed with texts wanting money!
Trump has 100 million in his super pac. They don't need money, they need to spend what they have.
