At least one statewide race in Georgia is headed to a runoff election.
Unofficial returns show Republican state Rep. Brad Raffensperger and former Democratic congressman John Barrow will face off again Dec. 4 in a runoff for Georgia secretary of state. Neither candidate got more than 50 percent of the vote Tuesday to win a three-way race with Libertarian Smythe Duval.
The office is currently held by Republican Brian Kemp, who passed on seeking re-election to run for governor.

Many years ago, Max Cleland was the GA Secretary of State. We had secure elections on non-electronic machines and it was easy to get a drivers license and to register to vote.
