Georgia's Runoff Ends. Doomed Electoral College Certification Fight Begins.

Voters cast the final ballots in Georgia's Senate runoff elections Tuesday, ending the state's two months at the center of the political universe.

This episode: political reporter Danielle Kurtzleben, national correspondent Sarah McCammon, congressional reporter Claudia Grisales, and senior political editor and correspondent Ron Elving.
