The State of Georgia is wrapping up early voting in the runoff race for Senate.

The Georgia Senate race is still important because Senators are only elected every 6 years. If Walker wins, his seat will give Republicans a head start for 2024 where 23 of the 33 seats that will be up for grabs are held by Democrats. #Georgia #senate

Friday is the final day to cast an early ballot in the Peach State, ahead of Tuesday’s election.

As of Thursday night, more than a million Georgians had voted early in the tight election between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker.

Georgia election officials predict record-breaking early voting numbers, with this year’s voter turnout and absentee ballots exceeding prior runoff records in 2016 and 2018.

If Walker wins, the Senate will be split 50-50 with the vice president breaking any ties.
