Tuesday, December 2 set for election run-offs

The Senate race has national implications

By Laura Link
Put this important date on your calendar: Tuesday, Dec. 2 for the runoff election of three undecided races with one having national implications in the U.S. Senate.

The Dec. 2 runoff election day times will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at regular precinct voting locations. Big Canoe’s Dawson voters will go to Fire Station No. 6 on Hubbard Road and Pickens voters will go to the fire station on Yellow Creek Rd.

The runoffs are for these races:

U.S. Senate incumbent Saxby Chambliss (R) and Jim Martin (D).
Court of Appeals candidates Sara Doyle and Mike Sheffield
Public Service Commission seat Lauren W. McDonald and Jim Powell.

The senate race is of national importance because the election of a Democrat to replace Republican Senator Chambliss could further weaken the number of Republican senators lost in the November general election to Democrats. Sen. Chambliss has described his re-election importance as a necessary firewall crucial to the Senate.
