Another key date to keep in mind is Jan. 5 in Georgia where two Senate runoff elections will take place.

The state is reportedly receiving a record number of absentee ballot requests for the special election. WSB-TV reports more than 762,000 ballots have been requested in Georgia.

The two races will determine control over the Senate.

Democrats would need to win both seats to take the majority.
