[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to GA state law, what happens if neither of the candidates gets more than 50% of the vote? Is the 50% rule still invoked in a run off election? Does anyone here know? [/quote] There are only two candidates in each run off (the top two vote getters in the original election), someone gets 50.0001 percent or more or there is a tie. There is no third run off.[/quote] I suppose I could see a universe in which some folks vote for only Warnock or only Purdue and it comes out thusly once non-votes and spoiled ballots (I wouldn't be surprised if triple digits of voters marked both candidates in one race, for example): Warnock 50.3-Loeffler 48.5 Purdue 49.8-Ossoff 49.0 I'm assuming it's purely "whoever gets the most votes here, wins" but it is entirely possible for a candidate here to not get 50% of the total cast ballots.
