But keep in mind they have the President-Elect and the Vice President-Elect to campaign for Martin.

3. In Ga., if a candidate doesn't get 50% +1, they have a runoff election |
|
to determine the winner. A runoff is usually triggered by a third (or sometimes more) candidate being in the race, so the two top winners are forced into a runoff vote to determine the final winner.
