Polls close in a little less than an hour in Georgia, where nearly $500 million has been spent in the two runoff races to determine control of the U.S. Senate.
National media has pointed to a record 3 million-plus early votes in the state as a bellwether for a potentially historic Democrat win on the heels of Joe Biden's presidential victory in the state — the first time Georgia has gone blue since 1992. But Georgia Republicans are cautiously optimistic: conservative radio host Erick Erickson has predicted a GOP win, pointing out that “[i]t sounds very much like the general election situation where Democrats and the press disputed every Republican claim as spin only to see the GOP proved right on Election Day.”

The latest from the Perdue campaign is “all anecdotal,” but so far, election-day turnout “looks good.” (The Trafalgar Group’s Robert Cahaly told National Review that Tuesday turnout crossing “the 1 million threshold is when the Republicans’ margin on Election Day can offset what the Democrats have done in early voting.”)
