Does the runoff have to finish at a certain percentage above, if it doesn't, does it go to a runoff?

1. I think it's 50% plus one vote.

In a 3 way race it's a percentage.

8. You are right

[Raven123]

2. There are only 2 candidates. Someone will be over 50%

3. With only two candidates they would each have to get EXACTLY 50%. Then I don't know. nt

4. I think this is it, regardless of outcome...

but with only 2 names on the ballot, one of them almost has to get over 50%. There's no 3d party to shave off votes on the margin.

5. Two candidates. The one with the most votes WILL be above 50%.

A runoff is only possible if the lead candidate gets LESS than 50%. With only two candidates, that's mathematically and logically impossible.

6. You mean automatic recount?

Less than 0.5 (1/2%) is often the threshold for a recount, but not sure if that’s the case in GA, it is gor many other states.

7. I think they missed the sarcasm.

9. Ach, it's a hectic night, I can forgive them for that.

Glad to see you got it, and hopefully a chuckle.
