On November 4th the three-way race for the Georgia U.S. Senate seat between Jim Martin, incumbent Saxby Chambliss and Allen Buckley ended with none of the candidates having reached 50% of the total vote. Under Georgia law, a special runoff election has been scheduled for December 2nd between Martin and Chambliss.

President-elect Barack Obama recently released a radio ad expressing his support for Jim Martin, in which he called on Georgia voters to head to the polls on more time this coming Tuesday:

Jim supports my plan to cut middle class taxes, make sure every American has access to affordable health care, stop spending ten billions dollars a month in Iraq, and get our economy moving again. Jim Martin's a man of his word, and I know he'll do everything he can in the Senate to help me change Washington and get America moving again.

The Georgia U.S. Senate runoff vote will take place this Tuesday, December 2nd. You do not need to have voted in the general election in order to vote in the runoff, but you do have to have been registered to vote in Georgia on or before October 6th, 2008. You can use the Georgia Secretary of State's online polling locator to find your polling location.

Our supporters built an incredible grassroots movement in Georgia over the past 21 months, and many volunteers and organizers in Georgia have been working non-stop since Election Day to help prepare for the runoff. In a special elections like this, turnout is key, and there is no substitute for the type door to door, person to person contact that was at the heart of our campaign over the past two years.
