The most competitive special Congressional election yet has arrived, and we will be providing returns live tonight right here. In addition to our district-wide totals, we will be analyzing county and precinct level returns. For the Democrats, the hope is that Jon Ossoff can pull out an outright win tonight- if he gets over 50% of the vote in this crowded field, hes in as the districts new Representative in Congress. If he falls short, then he will face off against one of four likely Republican opponents in a runoff on June 20th: Karen Handel, Bob Gray, Judson Hill, or Dan Moody. Polls close at 7pm and we anticipate at least early vote tallies to begin rolling in shortly thereafter. Refresh this page for the latest results tonight out of Georgia.

It’s 50% plus one vote, not 51%.
I think Pacific.
Live Analysis by Nate Cohn »
Ossoff’s attrition should probably slow down a bit now that so much of Cobb County is in, but still tracking toward a 48/48.5 type finish
50 percent plus one vote, not 51 percent
Here's a text I sent to a friend from the San Francisco airport in 2015: "At SFO, guy is griping his tix have takeoff, flight time, no arrival time. Me: Oh that's easy math. Him: Yeah if you know what time zone NORTH CAROLINA IS IN!"
It’s 50.00% + 1 vote to avoid a run-off.
No just 50% plus one is needed, i.e., a simple majority.
He needs to stay there or drop lower...
Well, technically, 50.000000000001%
If 300,000 vote, the winner needs 150,001 to win outright.
149,999 ? It’s a run-off.
Lookin’ good.
.
Ossoff down to 50.8% with just 40% in
40% of the precincts. Probably about 65% of the actual vote.
This is going to be uncomfortably close.
Eastern. The Alabama Georgia border is where Central starts

Can confirm. I live in GA and Pacific it is.
I am not so sure that the carpetbagger will continue to nose dive under 50%. DeKalb could help him as will the ballots just now being discovered in the trunks of the rat operatives.
I lived in Arizona and worked in California, but Arizona didn’t recognize daylight savings, so in summer I lived on Pacific daylight time.
Um, no. There have been about 127,000 votes counted, that is way more than 40%.
