Template:Elections in Georgia (U.S. state) The 2020–21 United States Senate special election in Georgia arose from the resignation of Republican Class III Senator Johnny Isakson, effective December 31, 2019. Governor Brian Kemp appointed Republican Kelly Loeffler to serve as Isakson's interim replacement, effective January 6, 2020, and she has held that seat since. The election was held concurrently with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as with other elections to the Senate, elections to the U.S. House of Representatives and various state and local elections. The winner would serve out the balance of Isakson's third term, which ends on January 3, 2023.

In accordance with Georgia law, a primary election for the special election did not take place; all candidates, regardless of party, were placed on the same ballot (known as a nonpartisan blanket primary), and the election was held on November 3, 2020. Democrat Raphael Warnock received the most votes with 32.9%, and Loeffler came in second with 25.9%. As no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, the top two candidates advanced to a runoff election, which took place on January 5.[4]

The runoff election was held concurrently with the regular Class II election for the Georgia U.S. Senate seat held by Republican David Perdue and challenged by Jon Ossoff, which had also advanced to the runoff stage. Following the 2020 U.S. Senate elections, Republicans held 50 Senate seats and the Democratic caucus held 48, including two independents who caucus with the Democrats. The two runoff elections decided the balance of the United States Senate under the incoming Biden administration. In the event that the Democrats won both seats, Democratic vice president-elect Kamala Harris's tiebreaking vote would give the Democrats a majority. The extraordinarily high political stakes caused the races to attract significant attention, both nationwide and globally.

Major media outlets, including Decision Desk HQ, the Associated Press, The New York Times, and NBC News, called the election for Warnock in the early hours of January 6, just minutes after he apparently declared victory. Loeffler refused to concede and initially vowed to challenge the results after she returned from Washington for the electoral vote certification.[5] She later conceded on January 7.[6] By a matter of a few hours, Warnock became the first Democrat to be elected to the U.S. Senate from Georgia since Zell Miller in the 2000 special election. He is the first ever African-American senator from Georgia, as well as the first African-American Democrat from the South to be elected to the Senate.[7] Hours later, Ossoff was called as the winner of the regular Senate election, effectively giving the Democrats control of the Senate.[8][9]

Background[edit source | edit]

On August 28, 2019, Isakson announced that he would resign from the Senate effective December 31 due to his deteriorating health.[10] This triggered a special election to fill the remainder of his term. On September 17, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp launched a website inviting Georgia citizens to submit their résumés in order to be considered for appointment.[11] President Donald Trump advocated the appointment of Rep. Doug Collins.[12] Kemp appointed Republican Kelly Loeffler to fill the seat until the 2020 special election; she took office on January 6, 2020.[13]

Candidates[edit source | edit]

Democratic Party[edit source | edit]

Despite the large number of candidates in the special election, by October 4, 2020, the Democratic Party had largely consolidated around Raphael Warnock's candidacy, and had pressured other Democratic candidates such as Matt Lieberman to drop out to avoid vote-splitting.[14]

Runoff[edit source | edit]

The runoff election for Isakson's former seat occurred on January 5, 2021. The runoff election for the Georgia U.S. Senate seat held by Republican David Perdue was also decided in a January 5 runoff. Prior to the Georgia runoff in the 2020 U.S. Senate elections, Republicans held 50 Senate seats and the Democratic caucus held 48.[73] Warnock declared victory on January 6, 2021.[citation needed] If Democrats won the other Georgia runoff held on January 5, their caucus gained control of the Senate, as the resultant 50–50 tie could be broken by Democratic vice president-elect Kamala Harris. If they lost the second race, Republicans retained Senate control.[74] The high political stakes caused the races to attract significant attention nationwide.[75][76][77] They were the third and fourth Senate runoff elections to be held in Georgia since runoffs were first mandated in 1964, following runoffs in 1992[citation needed] and 2008.[78] It was also the third time that both of Georgia's Senate seats have been up for election at the same time, following double-barrel elections in 1914 and 1932.[citation needed] The Associated Press and other major news outlets called the race for Warnock in the early morning hours of January 6.[79] Warnock's win was attributed to a heavy black voter turnout in the runoff.[80]

The deadline for registration for the runoff election was December 7.[citation needed] Absentee ballots for the runoff election were sent out beginning on November 18, and in-person voting began on December 14.[81][82]

Election-related lawsuits[edit source | edit]

Republicans filed two federal and one state lawsuit in December to restrict the January 5 vote. On December 17, Judge Eleanor Louise Ross found that plaintiffs lacked standing based on possible future harm to toss out a consent decree regarding signatures on absentee ballot applications. Judge James Randal Hall threw out another case which tried to block the use of drop boxes for absentee ballots. A third lawsuit, to restrict the use of drop boxes, was heard in state court on December 24.[83][citation needed]

On December 18, a federal judge threw out a Republican lawsuit alleging that out-of-state residents were voting in the runoff election, as Republican attorney Bill Price has recommended.[84] Another lawsuit was filed against the use of voting machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems, alleging that election officials are handling mail-in absentee ballots improperly and illegally.[85]

Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, sister of Democratic politician Stacey Abrams, of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia rejected the attempted purge of 4,000 voters in Muscogee County and Ben Hill County, Georgia on December 29. The ruling means the voters will be able to participate in the January 5 runoff election.[86] The ruling was amended to allow provisional voting to prevent election-day challenges.[87]
