UNITED STATES – Georgia’s seven million registered voters will go to the polls today for the fifth time in four years.

Thanks to a quirk in the state’s election law that requires winning candidates for state-wide posts in general elections not just to get more votes than everyone else, but to get fifty percent of the votes cast.

Incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock, a southern baptist preacher from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s old church in Downtown Atlanta, will face the republican former Football Star Herschel Walker, a man backed by former President Donald Trump.

Walker has faced accusations that he paid for wives and girlfriends to get abortions despite avowing a profoundly anti-abortion stance.
