Georgians have gone to the polls today to elect the state's two U.S. senators, a decision that will have profound implications for the next four years of American governance.
Republican incumbent Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue are trying to retain their seats against Democratic challengers Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. These two races have captured the attention of the nation, for they will determine the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
With at least one victory between Loeffler or Perdue, Republicans will maintain control of the upper chamber of Congress. If the two Democrats win, it will create a 50-50 split, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris holding the tiebreaking vote.
Voting generally appeared to function without many problems across much of the state, despite one notable issue in Columbia County that forced voters to use backup paper ballots for a short period of time early this morning, and which President Trump amplified on Twitter.
According to the Secretary of State's office, beyond that things ran smoothly and wait times were minimal around the state.
The contentious atmosphere of the election has not abated, however, with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirming that at least 10 counties have been impacted by Election Day threats.
