Georgia law requires a free-for-all special election where all contenders face off Nov. 3, allowing multiple Democrats and Republicans on the same ballot. If that’s the case, the winner won’t be determined until nearly a year from now — in a runoff election on Jan. 5, 2021. It’s a key race at a pivotal time in Georgia, where Republicans still dominate but Democrats have made significant strides in recent elections. Though she’s never run before and remains virtually unknown to many Georgia voters, Loeffler won’t be a pushover. She wouldn’t be the first political novice to be elected to the Senate from Georgia.
