Georgia Final, Republican/Democratic’Ultra-thin Bing’ leads one by one… 97% of counts

– On the 5th (local time), the final election of the Georgian federal senators to determine the majority of the US Senate was held, and an ultra-thin ice battle was taking place until the second half of the counting.

According to the Washington Post (WP), at the 97% counting level, Democrat Radical Warnock leads Republican Kelly Leppler by 50.4% versus 49.6%. It is a difference of 0.8 percentage points.

Republican candidate David Purdue is tied with Democratic candidate John Osoff at 50.0%. However, Purdue candidates are 456 votes ahead of the number of votes.

The elections on this day are showing an unpredictable appearance of a very close match throughout the counting. At the beginning of the ballot count, postal votes favoring the Democratic Party were first counted, and Democratic candidates were beaten in the early stages, and then Republican candidates in the mid-to-late ballot counted. Following this, they are continuing to fall back and forth, and are playing less than 1% of the game. Election results may come out during this day as early as possible, but there is also a possibility of a delay of 2-3 days if the ultra-thin situation continues. In the 11th and 3rd presidential elections last year, it took about 10 days to announce the results of the first round of counting, and it was recounted. The Georgian federal senator election was held alongside the 11th and 3rd presidential elections, but there were no majority votes, so according to state law, the finals were held that day.

As the majority of the Senate is decided according to the election results on this day, both sides have worked hard.

Currently, 50 Republicans and 48 Democrats (including democratic independents) out of a total of 100 seats. If the Republican Party wins even one seat, it will maintain the majority party status. On the other hand, if the Democratic Party retakes both seats, the vice-president (Kamela Harris), who is an ex officio in 50-50 equals, will take the casting boat as chairman of the Senate, and the Democratic Party will take the initiative.
