🗳️Former Lawmaker: US Midterm Count to Drag on ‘for Quite Some Time’ if Georgia Stays Undecided
Republicans appear set to win a narrow majority in the House based on preliminary results, but control of the Senate remains completely up-for-grabs with three races yet to be called. Control of the Senate could come down to a runoff election in Georgia if neither party can win both Arizona and Nevada, two states still counting ballots in races too close to call.
🗣️"What you have right now is two candidates who have somewhere around 49 or a little bit more percent of the vote, but neither one of them has 50%. And there may be some very minor candidates who would get a few votes," former Virginia State Senator Richard Black told Sputnik.
"If the state of Georgia remains undecided, then we might not know who will win control of the Senate for quite some time."

The almost 80-year-old President Joe Biden recently announced that he intends to seek re-election in 2024. However, a grassroots organization which claims to be non-partisan is hoping to discourage Biden from attempting a second term.
RootsAction. org, an online platform which describes itself as "dedicated to galvanizing people who are committed to economic fairness, equal rights for all, civil liberties, environmental protection - and defunding endless wars", launched a petition 'Don't Run, Joe' on 9 November.
The platform chose significantly to launch its petition in New Hampshire - the state that usually holds the first in a series of nationwide party primary elections every four years online:
🗣“It’s clear that Joe Biden should not be the party’s presidential nominee in 2024,” RootsAction. org said in a press release just a day after the country's mid-term elections
