Crucial Georgia races too close to call as US Senate control hangs in balance
With about 95 per cent of the votes counted both races were on a knife edge, within a wafer-thin margin of about one per cent
Two crucial US Senate races were too close to call as momentum shifted through the night between the Republican and Democrat candidates.
Control of the Senate hung in the balance as Democrats needed to win both contests to gain control.
No Democrat has won a US Senate race in Georgia in 20 years.
But with the proportion of estimated votes counted at 97 per cent both races were on a knife edge, within a wafer-thin margin of less than one per cent.
