"We agree that our ad tools are an important way for people to get information about these elections," Facebook's Sarah Schiff wrote in the blog post. "So we have developed a process to allow advertisers to run ads with the purpose of reaching voters in Georgia about Georgia's runoff elections."
The change comes ahead of Georgia's runoff races, in which Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler will challenge Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, respectively. As of now, Republicans will hold a 50-48 majority in the Senate in January. If Democrats win both of the Georgia runoff races, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would be the tiebreaking vote, giving the party unified control of the White House and Congress. If Republicans keep just one seat, the GOP will retain control of the Senate.
