How Black voters lifted Georgia Democrats to Senate runoff victories

Huge turnout - fueled by in large part by Stacey Abrams and LaTosha Brown - was key for Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff

Black voters showed up in record numbers for Georgia's Senate runoff election on Tuesday, handing the Democratic Senate candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff decisive victories against the Republican incumbents Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, respectively.

According to the Associated Press, more than 4.4 million votes were cast, about 88% of the number who voted in November's contest, when turnout was 68 percent overall.
