To finish last reply about results of Nov. 3 election in Georgia for US Senator:
David Perdue (Republican) - 49.7 %
John Ossoff (Democrat) - 47.9 %
Shane Hazel (Libertarian) - 2.3 %
If Hazel had NOT RUN, there is a good chance that a lot of his Libertarian followers would have decided to vote, and would have voted for Perdue, who just needed 0.3 % to get to 50 % (i.e. in Georgia, if no candidate gets 50 %, a run-off is required). Had Perdue got 50 %, there would NOT have been a run-off and Ossoff could have went back to Hollywood where he belongs while Perdue went back to the Senate. We would have had 51 Republicans when they really would be needed (i.e. like NOW) to vote along party lines against 49 Democrats so Kamala Harris would have lost the ability to make the tie-breaking vote!!
