- Die außerordentliche Wahl des Senatssitzes der Klasse III im US-Bundesstaat Georgia fand am 3. November 2020 statt und musste in einer Stichwahl am 5. Januar 2021 entschieden werden. Raphael Warnock gewann die Wahl und wird damit einer von zwei Senatoren im Senat der Vereinigten Staaten für Georgia. Seine Angelobung fand am 20. Januar statt. Warnocks Sieg ist der erste eines Afroamerikaners bei einer Wahl auf Bundesebene in Georgia. Warnock wird damit auch der erste Afroamerikaner im US-Senat für Georgia, sowie der erste afroamerikanische Senator der Demokraten aus den Südstaaten der USA. Es ist zudem der erste Sieg für die Demokraten bei einer US-Senatswahl in Georgia seit dem Jahr 2000. (de)
- The 2020–21 United States Senate special election in Georgia was held on November 3, 2020, and on January 5, 2021 (as a runoff), to elect the Class III member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Georgia. Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated appointed incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler. The first round of the election was held on November 3, 2020; however, no candidate received a majority of the vote, so the top two candidates—Warnock and Loeffler—advanced to a runoff on January 5, 2021, which Warnock won narrowly. The special election was prompted by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s appointment of Loeffler as the interim replacement for Republican Class III Senator Johnny Isakson, who resigned in December 2019. The winner of this election would serve a shortened term concluding on January 3, 2023. An election to serve a full six-year term was set for November 8, 2022. In accordance with Georgia law, no primary election took place for the special election; all candidates, regardless of party, were placed on the same ballot (known as a nonpartisan blanket primary, or "jungle primary"), and the election was held on November 3, 2020. Warnock received the most votes with 32.9%, and Loeffler came in second with 25.9%. As no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, the top two candidates advanced to a runoff election on January 5, 2021. The runoff was held concurrently with the regular Georgia Class II Senate election, in which Democrat Jon Ossoff defeated incumbent Republican David Perdue, also in a runoff on January 5. Following the November 3, 2020 Senate elections, Republicans held 50 Senate seats and the Democratic caucus—consisting of 46 registered Democrats and two allied independents—held 48. Because of this, the two Georgia runoffs determined the balance of the United States Senate under the incoming Biden administration. Winning both races gave the Democratic caucus 50 Senate seats, an effective majority with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris casting tie-breaking votes. The extraordinarily high political stakes caused the races to attract significant attention nationwide and globally. Major media outlets, including Decision Desk HQ, the Associated Press, The New York Times, and NBC News, called the election for Warnock in the early hours of January 6, just minutes after he apparently declared victory. Though Loeffler vowed to challenge the results after she returned from the electoral vote certification in Washington, she conceded on January 7. Ossoff and Warnock became the first Democrats to be elected to the U.S. Senate from Georgia since Zell Miller in the 2000 special election. Warnock is the first Black senator from Georgia, as well as the first Black Democrat from the South elected to the Senate. Though Warnock is the first Democratic senator from this seat since the latter election, hours later Ossoff was declared the winner in the regular Senate election. The two elections mark the first time since the 1994 United States Senate election in Tennessee and the concurrent special election that both Senate seats in a state have flipped from one party to the other in a single election cycle. This was the first time the Democrats achieved this since West Virginia's 1958 Senate elections. The election results were certified on January 19, 2021, with the senators-elect taking office on January 20. (en)
- La Elección especial al Senado de los Estados Unidos en Georgia de 2020 se llevaron a cabo el 3 de noviembre de 2020, luego de la renuncia del senador Johnny Isakson el 31 de diciembre de 2019. El gobernador Brian Kemp nombró a Kelly Loeffler para que sirviera como reemplazo de Isakson, a partir del 6 de enero de 2020, hasta la elección especial. El 3 de noviembre de 2020, según la ley de Georgia, se llevó a cabo una elección general especial el mismo día que las elecciones al Senado de los Estados Unidos programadas regularmente para el escaño que ocupaba David Perdue. No se produjo una elección primaria; en cambio, todos los candidatos, independientemente del partido, fueron colocados en la misma papeleta. Las etiquetas del partido se imprimieron en la boleta y si ningún candidato recibía más del 50% de los votos, los dos primeros clasificados debían avanzar a una segunda vuelta, que se celebraría el 5 de enero de 2021.
