If recounts don\u2019t change the November 3, 2020, result, the January 5, 2021, Georgia senatorial election becomes a black-swan event like none other in our age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incumbent senators rarely have runoff elections. Even if they do, states almost never have two senators up for reelection at once \u2014 and never both in runoffs.
