Forecast of Georgia Senate Runoffs - Our Final Update as of 7:00 PM EST, on Jan 5, 2021, at the close of polls!

Our final prediction of the outcome of the Senate runoff elections in Georgia today, January 5, 2021!  These predictions are based on the number online posts about the four candidates in the runoffs as of 7:00 PM EST, at the close of polls, today, as a proxy for voter engagement.  We also continue to account for the uncertainty in voter turnout rates that are yet to be reported by the state. Again, the total vote numbers have changed a bit but the overall outlook for the outcome remains unchanged from our earlier predictions.

These forecasts are being produced by Co-Principal Investigator Dr. Purush Papatla with assistance from Ling Tong, Doctoral Student in the College of Health Sciences, UW-Milwaukee.
