Democratic candidates vying to unseat Sen. David Perdue see Georgia as critical battleground.

Teresa Tomlinson, the first female mayor of Columbus, Georgia, who’s also competing in the primary, said advancing to a runoff would be “devastating” for Ossoff because it would be the third election he’s run in where he didn’t win a majority of the voters.

She highlighted her experience as the only candidate to pursue statewide office, adding, “There's certainly nobody else who's gotten almost half a million more votes than David Perdue ever has.” In the record low country-wide turnout in 2014, Perdue won with 1,355,392 votes. In 2018, Amico lost, but with 1,828,566 votes.

The other candidates who qualified for the ballot are Maya Dillard Smith, Marckeith DeJesus, James Knox and Tricia Carpenter McCracken. Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff delivers a concession speech after returns show him losing the race for Georgia's 6th Congressional District on June 20, 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Voting screwed up, after Kemp, why didn't this get fixed?

Well, Perdue is the Senator from Georgia, so it's unlikely they would be taking the battle to, say, Arkansas.
