Daily News | Runoff elections: Everything you need to know about what’s going on in Georgia
The special runoff elections come from a time when Democrats controlled Southern politics and manipulated rules in order to stay in power. When it was first implemented in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, state parties would run primary elections, instead of by government officials, making it easier to discriminate against Black voters. Democrats held every Southern Senate seat,.
Wins like Senator-elect John Fetterman’s in Pennsylvania — the only flipped Senate seat this election cycle — gave Democrats an easier path to the majority.Still, control hangs on the outcomes in Arizona, Nevada and Georgia. Incumbents in all three states in limbo are Democrats, meaning Republicans would need to flip at least two seats to gain the majority.
