COVINGTON, Ga. Newton County’s elections board on Monday, Nov. 9, discussed how it will participate in the state’s presidential ballot recount and the January U.S. Senate runoff as it voted to certify last week’s General and Special Election.
Itâs the first week of January 2021, and the 2020 elections are over. In my home state of Georgia, the votes from the runoff races were being tabulated. There were three statewide races on the ballot: two U.S. Senate seats and one Public Service Commission seat. All three races had incumbent Republicans facing off against Democratic challengers.
Republican incumbent Lauren âBubbaâ McDonald Jr. beat Democrat Daniel Blackman in the Public Service Commission race and, as of Wednesday morning, had garnered more votes than either of the incumbent Republican U.S. senators. They should be outperforming him, and the fact that they are not should make you stop and ask: What went wrong in the Senate Republicansâ races?
