Technically Perdue won in November, Warnock won in November because Loeffler split the vote with Collins.
It's some pretty funny irony that the GA runoff law (which was passed as a Jim Crow law in part to help keep black candidates out of office decades ago) actually helped send GA's first black Senator to Washington.

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!"
DemoKKKrats used this whole "run off" sham to steal these two Seats.
Georgia has a Republican Governor, Lt. Governor Republican Secretary of State, and Republican majority in the state house. So given that, please explain did Democrats manage to implement a 'run off scam'?
To be even more clear, I feel the exact same way about anyone and everyone who supported that racist Nazi, Warnock.
I’m with you! All we’ve heard from liberals is how awful racism is against blacks, and they made the fight against prejudice their primary issue. So who do they vote for? A black racist who complains about “whiteness” and praises the antisemitic Farrakhan.
No. The runoff system was instituted in 1964 after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ruling that found Georgia’s election system violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution because votes cast in small rural counties counted more heavily than votes cast in large urban jurisdictions. A 2007 U.S. Interior Department study said Georgia’s runoff system was proposed to “circumvent” the Black voting bloc.
So now you don't support states rights with regards to their selected method of holding elections?
