Turning the Atlanta Hawks’ arena into an early voting site election went so well, they're doing it again for the runoffs. 🗳 Election2020

Turning the Atlanta Hawks’ arena into an early voting site for the Nov. 3 general election was so well-received by voters, the organization is doing it again from Dec. 14-19 for the key runoff elections in Georgia that will determine both of the state’s seats in the U.S. Senate.

Out of 524,659 votes cast for president in Fulton County, the state’s largest, more than 40,000 came through State Farm Arena. In the state of Georgia, early votes can be cast at any location in the county where the voter is registered. Under Georgia law, elections for several offices including the U.S. Senate are determined by majority vote, meaning automatic runoffs if no candidate receives 50 percent. Georgia is in the unique position of having two Senate runoffs this year. For the regular six-year term, Republican incumbent David Perdue fell just short of the 50 percent threshold on Nov. 3 and will face Democrat challenger Jon Ossoff. The other race is a special election to fill the remainder of former Sen.

Both Republicans and Democrats will be intensely focused on the state of Georgia until Jan. 5, as control over the Senate hangs in the balance. Republicans have a 50-48 edge pending the outcome of those two races.
