Voters in Georgia are expected to deliver another close result when they go the polls in a crucial runoff election on December 6 that will determine the state's next U.S. Senator.
Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock is battling to keep his seat in the closely watched race against Republican retired football star Herschel Walker, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
The Georgia Senate race will go to a runoff because no candidate garnered 50 percent of the vote.
Senator Warnock led Walker with 49.42 percent to the Republican's 48.52 percent, with around 95 percent of votes counted as of early Friday morning, according to The New York Times. Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver had won 2.7 percent of the vote.
