Voters Head to the Polls Today for Georgia's Special Congressional Race
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Georgia, voters are heading to the polls today to vote in the most
expensive congressional race in U.S. history. Polls show Democrat Jon
Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel are virtually tied in the race to
fill the seat left vacant after Tom Price resigned to become secretary
of health and human services. The election is widely seen as a
referendum on President Trump. Civil rights leaders have expressed
concern that voter suppression tactics could cost Ossoff the election.

Georgia on voter suppression and today's election.
