What to expect in Georgia on Election Day
Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff is defending his Senate seat in one of the nation’s marquee midterm races, while Republicans will try to keep control of the governor’s mansion that departing GOP Gov. Brian Kemp has held for two terms. The Republican nominee for Senate is two-term Rep. Mike Collins.

The governor's race features Republican healthcare executive Rick Jackson and Democratic former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
