  1. The Online Athens website says that a runoff will be held in district 120 on February 3; it didn’t say anything about district 50. Seems GA has the same crazy runoff laws we have here in NC.

  2. I think Georgia only needs a runoff when no one gets 40%. In the district 50 race, someone did get over 40%.
