(Worthy News) -Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff has won the second of the state’s two runoff elections against Republican David Perdue, the Associated Press predicted on Wednesday, handing Democrats control over the U.S Senate during at least the first two years of Joe Biden’s presidency.
Ossoff had maintained a razor-thin lead against Perdue earlier in the day, with the tally giving him an 0.6% lead over the GOP candidate.
A “technical issue” in DeKalb County had earlier delayed vote counting there, officials claimed early Wednesday morning, with nearly 20,000 votes having to be manually scanned due to an unspecified error with voting machines. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
