Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has called on state lawmakers to eliminate general election runoffs
“Georgia is one of the only states in country with a General Election Runoff,” Raffensperger, a Republican, said in a statement on Wednesday. “We’re also one of the only states that always seems to have a runoff. I’m calling on the General Assembly to visit the topic of the General Election Runoff and consider reforms.
Still, the single-day turnout broke records, and top Republican officials in the state argued the high numbers refuted claims that the 2021 elections law was designed to suppress votes in Georgia. Voting groups pushed back on this notion and said voters and activists had to overcome both new and longstanding obstacles.
