UPDATE: Chambliss Retains Senate Seat

Georgia Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss is headed back to Washington after winning the state's run-off election against Democratic challenger Jim Martin.

With just over 90 percent of the precincts reporting this evening, Chambliss, 65, held a 58 percent to 42 percent lead over Martin.

The win prevents Democrats from gaining a 60-seat majority in the Senate which would have prevented Republican filibusters.

The state of Minnesota is still up for grabs in the recount between Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and Democratic challenger Al Franken. Even if Democrats were to win that seat, they would fall one short of 60 seats in the senate.

Voters Back to the Polls to Decide Senate Race

If it seems like you just did this a month ago, you're right.

Voters return to the polls today to hopefully bring an end to the U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss and Democractic challenger Jim Martin.

In last month's election, Chambliss fell just short of the 50 percentile needed for victory, therefore creating today's run-off.

While turnout will likely be less than on Nov. 4, both sides are fighting hard for the seat. Republicans want to hold on to the seat to prevent Democrats from gaining the magical 60 mark in the Senate where they could stop GOP filibustrers.

The polls are open until 7 p.m.
