Both Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock are trying to convince their supporters to return to the polls and vote one more time in the runoffs.
Democrats have already secured control of the Senate for the next Congress, but that isn’t stopping Georgia voters from casting their ballots in the state’s Senate runoff election.
After neither incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock nor Republican candidate Herschel Walker were able to earn more than 50 percent of the vote in the November 8 midterm election, the closely-watched race was kicked into a runoff, sending campaigns back on the trail until December 6.
Warnock had a narrow lead with 49.4 percent of the vote, while Walker received 48.5 percent of the vote.
On Monday, the state’s first day of early voting, more than a quarter-million people voted, breaking the state’s record for the highest number of ballots cast in a single day of early voting. Early voting for the Senate runoff will continue until December 2.
«Just…WOW! GA voters, facilitated through the hard work of county election & poll workers, have shattered the old Early Vote turnout, with 300,438 Georgians casting their votes today,» Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s top elections official, tweeted on Monday.
