Georgia voters re-elect Senator Raphael Warnock and secure the 51st Democratic seat in the Senate, despite facing harsh voter restrictions that primarily targeted Black voters in the state.
On this edition of Your Call, we'll discuss the results of the Georgia runoff election, where Senator Raphael Warnock defeated Herschel Walker to secure the crucial 51st senate seat for the Democrats. Georgian voters faced harsh voter suppression restrictions under the state's new law, Senate Bill 202, that cut the runoff voting period down to only 4 weeks, down from 9 weeks in the 2021 runoff. It also barred organizers from registering new voters in the period between this year's general election and the runoff, a strategy they used in 2020. How will this runoff election win impact the balance of power in congress?
