Re: verkiezingen
Belangrijk omdat van deze verkiezing afhangt of de Democraten of de Republikeinen de meerderheid in de senaat krijgen.The 2020–21 United States Senate special election in Georgia arose from the resignation of Republican Class III Senator Johnny Isakson, effective December 31, 2019. Governor Brian Kemp appointed Republican Kelly Loeffler to serve as Isakson's interim replacement, effective January 6, 2020, and she will hold the seat until a new senator is chosen in a special election.[1] In accordance with Georgia law, a primary election for the special election did not take place; all candidates, regardless of party, were placed on the same ballot (known as a blanket primary), and the election was held on November 3, 2020. Democrat Raphael Warnock received the most votes with 32.9%, and Loeffler came in second with 25.9%. As no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, the top two candidates advanced to a runoff election, which will take place on January 5, 2021.[2] The winner of the runoff will hold the Senate seat for the remainder of Isakson's term, which ends on January 3, 2023.
Bron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%8 ... in_GeorgiaThe special election took place in conjunction with the regular Class II Senate election for the Senate seat held by Republican David Perdue, which will also be decided in a January 5 runoff. If Democrats win both seats, they will gain control of the Senate, as the 50–50 tie can be broken by Democratic Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. If they lose either of the races, Republicans will retain control.
