Parties Gear Up for Possible Runoffs in Georgia and Louisiana

By Leave a Comment

The possibility of runoffs in the Senate races in Georgia and Louisiana “has prompted big election spenders, including the National Rifle Association’s political wing and Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, to begin snapping up television advertising time for the period after Nov. 4 and making other plans for what could be weeks of additional frantic campaigning–possibly with control of the Senate hanging in the balance,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“If runoffs are needed, Louisiana would hold one on Dec. 6 and Georgia on Jan. 6.”
