Incredibly close races down the ballot in Georgia left several races still hanging the morning after the polls closed, with several statewide seats and two congressional races too tight to declare a winner.

Democrats, shut out of holding any statewide office in Georgia since 2010, put up fierce challenges Tuesday beyond the showdown for governor between Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams.

Open seats for secretary of state, insurance commissioner and two seats on the Public Service Commission were too close to call early Wednesday.
