In an election where control of the U.S. Senate could be on the line, Georgia is the only state with both seats on the ballot — two opportunities for Republicans to hold their ground; two opportunities for Democrats to make gains.

Republican Sen. David Perdue faces Democrat Jon Ossoff in a race that public polling has shown to be very close. In the other, Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler faces a crowded field that includes GOP Rep. Doug Collins and Democrat Raphael Warnock in a special election for the seat Loeffler was appointed to 10 months ago.
