WHEN WILL THE TWO GEORGIA SENATORS (WARNOCK AND OSSOFF) BE SWORN IN?
It basically depends on the pace at which Georgia certifies its election results.
It sounds obvious, but Warnock and Ossoff can't officially be senators until their election victories are, well, official. That could still take a week or two.
Here's the general outline, as provided by the Georgia Secretary of State's Office:
* Jan. 8: Deadline for military and overseas ballots to come in, as well as for voters who had to use provisional ballots to fix their issue (a process known as "curing" their ballot).
* Jan. 15: Deadline for counties to certify their results.
* Jan. 22: Deadline for state to certify its results.
