Three States Have Upcoming Statewide Runoff Elections, All on Different Dates

Georgia will hold a runoff on December 4, Tuesday, for Secretary of State, and one Public Service Commission seat. This is because no one got 50% on November 6 for those two offices.

Louisiana will hold a runoff on December 8, Saturday, for Secretary of State, for the same reason. Normally this office would not have been up in an even year, but this is a special election to fill a vacancy.

Mississippi will hold a runoff on November 27, Tuesday, for U.S. Senate, short term. No one got a majority on November 6. Because this is a special election, instead of a regular election, it is a non-partisan election, without party nominees.

Arizona Green Party Sets New Record for Gubernatorial Elections

The Arizona Green Party nominee for Governor, Angel Torres, polled 2.14% last week. This is the best the party has ever done for that office. The party was only on the ballot for Governor of Arizona once before, in 2010, when it got .93%.

No 2018 Green Party nominee for Governor of any other state received a higher percentage than Torres, except Jim Brewer in Hawaii, who got 2.59%.
