On Monday, December 14, early voting for Georgia's special elections commenced.

Both Georgia races remain heavily scrutinized with various GOP and Democrat groups throwing their support behind their candidates. Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are strongly backed by Republicans and conservative PACs across the country; meanwhile, Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock enjoy support from left-wingers across America.

Only Georgians can vote in these special elections; however, the outcomes of these races will ripple out and impact not only the Senate but also the rest of the nation.

All four candidates kicked events off on Monday with calls for Georgia residents to make a plan to vote.

An Overview of Early Voting in Georgia

Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler kicked off Monday with Early Vote and Senate Firewall tours. The purpose of these events is to rally support among Georgians and get them to vote. Perdue and Loeffler also continue to remind Georgians of how critical and impactful these runoff races are.

Ossoff and Warnock also encouraged their supporters to get out and vote. However, the Georgia Democrats swiped at Perdue and Loeffler, pushing untrue and debunked talking points regarding insider stock trading.

The Department of Justice cleared Sens. Perdue and Loeffler of insider stock trading claims, as did the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee. However, these facts didn't stop Ossoff from falsely stating that both GOP senators are "the Bonnie and Clyde of corruption" who only seek to line their own pockets.

Holding the Line Against Extremism in America

Both Georgia Republicans have reiterated that re-electing them in the Senate will hold the line against socialism and extremism. Perdue and Loeffler also continue to inform Georgians of the type of policies that Ossoff and Warnock would champion in the Senate.

Perdue has called out Ossoff as dishonest and someone who would be a "rubber stamp" for Congressman Chuck Schumer if the latter wins control of the Senate. Loeffler, too, is holding Warnock to task on his support for ending cash bail, gutting the military, and defunding the police.

Today, Joe Biden is making his way to Georgia in support of Democrats Jon Ossoff and David Perdue.
