    Between the postal ballots and the first in-person votes, more than 1.12 million votes were cast in the January second round

    Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue will face Democratic Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff on January 5.

Ballots accounted for 481,171 of the votes and advance in-person voting totaled 641,924 as early voting began last week.

The high number of early votes in Georgia could be the result of a nationwide campaign on both sides of the aisle to highlight what’s at stake: control of the upper house – and possibly the fate of the Democratic agenda .

It could also be a reflection of a population explosion in Georgia – 1 million new voters have made the state their home in the past four years.

Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue will face Democrats Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, respectively, on January 5.
