The GA legislature can call a special session of 3/5 (60%) of the members sign a petition to do so.

GA Legislature makeup:

Senate: 35/21 (62% Republican)
House: 103/75 (57% Republican)

Even with all senate Republicans signing the petition, there aren’t enough Republicans in the house to get it done.

Some of those GA House members have majority conservative constituents who are putting pressure on them.

It’s not a percentage process, it’s a population enraged process.

Normal, polite, meek, quiet Georgians are so livid they are ready for blood, seriously.

I am not a Constitutional expert, but I would believe the Georgia legislature could carry out a US Constitutional duty regardless of Georgia law. It would seem a Georgia law would not be able to limit an enumerated power specified in the Constitution. Of course, if the Georgia legislature chose to meet with a simple majority, the USSC would make the final decision.
