The Hill: Senate sergeant at arms says cyberattack more worrisome than repeat of Jan. 6 insurrection 

Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson said Saturday she is more concerned about a cyberattack on the government than another insurrection like the one that rocked Capitol Hill on Jan. 6. 

“Our networks ... have attempted intrusions every single day. And so, cybersecurity for me is a much greater concern than the prospect of thousands of people storming the West Terrace,” Gibson said in an interview that aired on CNN Saturday.

Control Of The US Senate Will Be Decided In January As Both Georgia Senate Seats Are Headed For Runoffs

 

Daily Mail: Now control of the Senate is poised to be a January nail-biter as BOTH Georgia seats head for runoffs - with GOP's David Perdue under the 50% all-out win margin by just 140 votes 

 * The makeup of the Senate come January could entirely depend on the two races in Georgia 

 * Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler is already headed for a runoff election in January 

 * Fellow Republican Sen. Dvid Perdue fell below Thursday afternoon the 50 per cent margin needed to avoid a runoff 

 * He is around 140 votes shy of avoiding a runoff as he holds 49.9997 per cent of the vote with 98 per cent of precincts reporting 

 * As of Thursday, the Senate race is in a dead heat 48-48 – taking into account that both independent senators caucus with Democrats 

Republicans' ability to control the Senate is in the balance by just 140 votes as of Thursday afternoon as Georgia Senator David Perdue fell below the 50 per cent of the vote he needs to avoid a runoff election.  

The incumbent Republican is now just around 140 votes shy of avoiding a runoff as he holds 49.9997 per cent of the vote with 98 per cent of precincts reporting – just short of the threshold needed to outright win. 

While two per cent of the vote still needs to be counted in the Peach State, they are largely coming in from Democratic areas, meaning it’s likely his lead could drop even further below the 50 per cent line. 

Fellow Georgia Republican Sen. Kelly Loefller’s runoff against Democrat Raphael Warnock will be held in January after they earned 26.1 per cent and 32.7 per cent respectively.

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction. These two Senate races are going to be the most expensive Senate elections in US history. As to the outcome. Will the people in the state of Georgia give control of the Senate to the Democrats after many of them had threatened to stack the Supreme Court and make Puerto Rico and Washington DC states? You tell me.
