In the Georgia Senate race, a large batch of ballots for Georgia Democrat Senator Warnock was dropped that placed him in the lead, and then the votes after that point in time were near all the same proportion of Warnock to Walker votes. This drop gave Senator Warnock the lead and may have prevented GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker from winning the race outright.
In Georgia, a runoff is held with the top two candidates if neither candidate exceeds 50% of the vote. This ballot “drop” may have prevented Herschel Walker from winning the election outright with more than 50% of the vote.
