On January 6, Georgia held special elections to fill the vacant seats in the State House, in district 50 and district 120. Georgia special elections do not involve party nominees; instead individuals run, and are free to choose any party label, whether the party is qualified or not.
Here is a link to the returns. The district 50 race was between three Republicans, a Libertarian, and an independent. The district 120 race was between five Republicans.
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.
I think Georgia only needs a runoff when no one gets 40%. In the district 50 race, someone did get over 40%.
No GA’s is 50%+1
