It also looks like Georgians will now have two Senate runoffs.

Now.

Control of the u-s senate will likely come down to georgia as both senate seats could be going to a runoff election in january.

News 12's brian armstrong finds out what extra work will be involved for the poll workers, and the political parties.

I don't think we'll have nearly the turnout we had this election of course but a higher turnout perhaps then most runoffs it will be much lower much lower no matter what the parties do.
