Here is a link to the Georgia election returns, for the special runoff, U.S. House, 6th district.
Although the returns aren’t official, they show that the Democrats did better in the South Carolina election than the Georgia election.

On June 20, South Carolina held a special election to fill the vacancy in the U.S. House, 5th district. Here is a link to the election returns, from the State Election Commission’s web page.
The North Carolina House Elections Committee will hear SB 656 on Wednesday, June 21, at 8:30 a.m. This is the bill that reduces the number of signatures for newly-qualifying parties and independent candidates. It passed the Senate unanimously on April 26.
On June 20, the California Senate Elections Committee passed AB 837. It specifies steps that election officials must take to let each independent voter know that he or she may choose the presidential primary ballot of any party that lets independents vote in its presidential primary.
On June 20, the California Senate Elections Committee heard AB 469, which shrinks the amount of time to collect signatures in lieu of the candidate filing fee, but somewhat lowers the number of signatures needed. As passed by the Assembly, the bill requires 7,000 signatures for statewide office; 2,000 for State Senate and U.S. House; and 1,000 for Assembly.
The Senate Committee passed the bill, but only after the author agreed to lower the number of signatures further. The amended bill will require 1,800 for State Senate and U.S. House, and 900 for Assembly. The committee didn’t really clarify what the amended bill will require for statewide office, but it is somewhat probable that it will be close to 6,500. This outcome would not have occurred without the skilled lobbying of the Peace and Freedom and Green Parties, and Californians for Electoral Reform.
