Georgia legislature news

January 5, 2021 Atlanta: Fulton County Election Workers opened and sorted ballots on Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021 at the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta before 7 pm when they were then allowed to scan them. Georgia’s long moment in the national spotlight culminated Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021, when state voters cast their votes to determine which party would control the U.S. Senate. Georgia voters also voted to elect a member of the state Public Service Commission, which regulates energy and utility rates and issues. The two most expensive Senate races in history saw more than $833 million been spent by the four campaigns and outside groups supporting them, blanketing the airwaves and stuffing mailboxes across the state. Much of that money has come from organizations with no direct connection to Georgia. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
