A whole bunch of Senate races are going to the wire, according to a new batch of election-eve polls released from Democratic-aligned firm Public Policy Polling.
In Georgia, Republican David Perdue edges Democrat Michelle Nunn, 46 percent to 45 percent, plus 5 percent for Libertarian candidate Amanda Swafford. In this state, however, if no candidate gets over 50 percent of the vote there will then be a special runoff election, to be held two months later on Jan. 6 — which could be an especially hard-fought event if control of the Senate turns out to still be on the line.
