Stacey Abrams has built an incredibly strong get out the vote operation in Georgia, and it appears to be paying dividends again. Polling shows that both of the Democratic candidates have small leads and that the Senate elections look like they will be close, so the more mail ballots that Abrams piles up, the more likely it is that Democrats will win the seats that they need to take control of the Senate.

Georgia was pivotal in making Joe Biden the next president, and for their next act, they could make Mitch McConnell an ex-Majority Leader.
