Georgia state lawmaker
A Georgia state lawmaker introduced a bill to lower the threshold needed to avoid a runoff election after residents voted in a runoff in 2020 and 2022.In 2020, Republican David Perdue faced off against Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Kelly Loeffler went up against Democrat Raphael Warnock. Ossoff and Warnock ultimately won their races following a runoff two months later.
"We looked at all the statewide runoff elections that stemmed from general elections over the last 15 years and if this 45% threshold had been in place then, we wouldn't have seen any of those runoff elections," Draper said. And Draper says a runoff does not change the outcome of a race in most cases. However, one exception is the 2020 election between Perdue and Ossoff. Then-Sen. Perdue had earned more votes in the general election, garnering 49.7% of the vote, but lost to Ossoff in the runoff election on Jan. 5, 2021.
