Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling predicted Tuesday that the final election outcome in the twin U.S. Senate runoffs will likely be known in a “couple of days.”
Sterling told reporters after polls closed:
We’re going to be getting results tonight, we’re going to be getting the biggest bulk of them, like we did last time, depending on the margin. When you want to get a final outcome, we will know the number of outstanding ballots, if I’m a betting person, which I’m not, I would say it’s going to be a couple of days because I’m anticipating it will be a close race one way or the other.

Georgia voters came out in record numbers to vote in two runoff elections for seats in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday (January 5), with more than three million people voting early. Officials estimate that 4.6 million people will cast votes, the most ever in a runoff election in the state.
The races will determine which party will have control of the Senate for the next two years. If the Democratic candidates win both races, they will create a 50-50 tie in the chamber, giving Vice President-elect
Kamala Harris the deciding vote. If the Republicans maintain their majority, it will give them the ability to block much of President-elect
