In Georgia it is crunch time for political campaigns and organizers in the state’s high stakes Senate runoffs. The results will determine control of the chamber.

And these final days have been the culmination of unprecedented political spending: hundreds of millions of dollars on an inescapable barrage of political advertising and on voter contact efforts like door knocking, texting and calling. Both sides of the aisle say the situation is unprecedented.

The Trump Victory campaign had about 100 staffers on the ground in Georgia leading up to November. Now, through a joint effort between the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Republican National Committee and the Georgia Republican Party that number has increased tenfold. Plus thousands of volunteers.
