Shortly after voting, @SenatorLoeffler says she hasn’t decided yet whether she will object to Joe Biden’s electors on Jan. 6 in Congress.
“I haven't looked at it,” she says, adding: “January 6 is a long way out and there’s a lot to play out between now and then.” #gapol #gasen
She also isn’t acknowledging @JoeBiden’s victory, though several GOP leaders have publicly congratulated the Democrat for winning.
“My focus right now is on my race,” she says, pivoting to an attack on @ReverendWarnock. #gapol #gasen

I headed upstairs, where Georgia’s 16 Democratic electors aren’t behind closed doors, but assembled in the state Senate ready to cast their votes for Joe Biden. #gapol
Here’s what a GOP elector told me for a story that ran on the @ajc front page today: #gapol
