What if no candiate for US Senate in George gets more than 50% AGAIN?

Runoff elections start with the just the top two candidates from the general election, and no write-ins are allowed; so one candidate should manage to get more than 50% of the vote.  The only outcome that would prevent that would be a dead-even tie, which is highly unlikely.  In that eventuality, my reading of the Georgia statutes suggests they'd hold a second runoff election; but I don't think that's ever happened so who knows.

As to your question, nothing would happen to the Senate.  However long it takes Georgia to select its Senators, their seats will remain vacant.  The Senate would continue to be controlled by the Republican party, as they would have the votes of a majority of the Senators who have been seated....Show more

This time, there will be only two candidates for each Senate seat, so someone has to get 50%.  (It could still be tied 50-50; I'm not sure what happens then.)...Show more
