☆ Georgia Secretary of State Calls to End General-Election Runoffs
  + stars: | 2022-12-14 | by ( Joshua Jamerson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger called on state lawmakers to eliminate its general-election runoff after previously defending the practice as healthy when the 2020 and 2022 elections resulted in high-stakes, second rounds of voting. In Georgia statewide elections, if no candidate notches 50% support, the top two vote-getters advance to a runoff. While several states have runoffs for primary elections, it is rare to have them in general elections.

ATLANTA—Georgia’s closely watched Senate race between incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker will be decided in Tuesday’s runoff election, as voters exhausted by nonstop advertising and urgent appeals to go back to the polls settle the last of the 2022 Senate midterm elections. Even before the runoff, the race was one of the most expensive in congressional history. As of Friday night, the last day of early voting, 1.85 million Georgia residents had cast their ballots early in-person or by mail, about 26% of the state’s active voters, according to the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, which oversees elections.

WASHINGTON—Control of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives still hinged on races that were too close to call as of early Friday morning, with both parties girding for a final outcome that might not be known for days. Tuesday’s election-night roller coaster, with Democrats faring much better than either party expected, has morphed into a several-day slog. Republicans and Democrats were awaiting results in uncalled races while poring over various scenarios on how a party can capture the majority.

WASHINGTON—Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker began his Georgia runoff bid the same way he ended his general election campaign earlier this week: with a bus tour. On Thursday evening, it began with a stop in Canton, Ga., featuring Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas). “We’re in overtime,” Mr. Walker, a former Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Georgia, said. “I was built for this. God prepared me for this moment right here.”

ATLANTA—Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and his Republican challenger, Herschel Walker , are headed to a runoff election in December, sending Georgia voters back to the polls in a high-stakes Senate showdown for the second time in two years. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Wednesday said neither candidate will notch the required 50% support under state law, largely because of the presence of Chase Oliver, a Libertarian Party candidate, on the ballot. Mr. Oliver received enough votes to prevent one of the major-party candidates from winning outright.
☆ Candidates Make Last Pitches in Final Hours of Midterms Campaigning

Candidates in key battlegrounds were set to make their last pitches to undecided voters in the final hours before Election Day, as GOP prospects continued to brighten. Republicans are seen by nonpartisan analysts as the favorites to take the House majority Tuesday, with surveys showing key voting blocs trending away from Democrats as many voters say their top concerns are inflation and economic uncertainty. Senate control remains a tossup, but polls show GOP candidates in states such as Arizona, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania have made gains in the final weeks. Democrats were also working to hold on to governors’ offices in Oregon and New York, states that were once seen as safely Democratic but have been competitive this year.
☆ A Quarter-Billion Dollars for the Walker-Warnock Georgia Senate Race Buys Tossup

ATLANTA—To win a single Senate seat, Republicans and Democrats have spent the equivalent of $30.83 on every one of the 7.8 million eligible voters in Georgia. That comes to somewhere north of $241 million and counting. For all the money spent, Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and his Republican opponent, Herschel Walker , a former All-Pro running back for the Dallas Cowboys, remain virtually deadlocked, many polls show. A few have shown Mr. Warnock gaining momentum in recent days.

Candidates and voters braced for a late surge of campaigning in the final 48 hours before Election Day, with surrogates from both parties barnstorming key states in the battle for control of Congress. With voters expressing concern about inflation and dissatisfaction with President Biden’s stewardship of the economy, Republicans are heavily favored by nonpartisan analysts to win control of the House of Representatives in Tuesday’s elections. Democrats had better odds of keeping their Senate majority, but Republican candidates were making late polling gains in such states as New Hampshire, Arizona and Pennsylvania.
☆ When are the 2022 Midterm Elections? What to Know
  + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( Joshua Jamerson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Democrats and Republicans are gearing up for battles across the country for control of the House of Representatives, Senate, governors’ mansions and state legislatures. The party in power in Washington—in this year’s case, the Democrats, who control the House, Senate and presidency—typically experiences losses in the midterm elections. Midterm elections occur every four years, in the middle of the president’s four-year term. Although President Biden isn’t on the ballot, the outcome will determine how the rest of his term will look.
☆ North Carolina Senate Race Spotlights Shrinking Slice of Persuadable Voters

GREENSBORO, N.C.—In one of the closest Senate contests in the country, both political parties have emphasized energizing their bases more than trying to persuade a shrinking pool of undecided voters ahead of the midterm elections. The race between Democrat Cheri Beasley, a former chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, and Rep. Ted Budd , a Republican backed by former President Donald Trump, has been close for months, as many elections in North Carolina have been in recent years. Mr. Budd holds a roughly 2.6 percentage-point edge, according to polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight.

AUGUSTA, Ga.—Johnny Gregory III, a Black father with several teenage children, says his priority in the midterm elections is to vote for a candidate who will increase funding for education and teachers. “I do care about the economic issues. It’s just for me, the social issues mean way more to me right now,” said Mr. Gregory, 43 years old, who leads a local nonprofit and lives in Augusta. He plans to vote for Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock , who is in a tight race against Republican Herschel Walker . “The education system, I see it just getting worse.”
☆ Herschel Walker, Raphael Warnock Set for Lone Debate in Georgia Senate Race
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Lindsay Wise | Joshua Jamerson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker will square off in their only debate Friday night, a hotly anticipated event thanks to Mr. Walker’s controversial campaign and Georgia’s emergence as a perennial battleground state. The Senate is split 50-50 between the parties, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting tiebreaking votes. Democratic officials in Washington have said their easiest path to keeping the Senate majority is protecting four vulnerable incumbents: Mr. Warnock, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Mark Kelly of Arizona and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire. If Republicans hold all their current seats, they only need to defeat one of those Democrats to take control of the chamber.
