GA-6 Special Election results for today,June 20 runnoff,and 2018.

Ossoff-D wins today's election with over 50 percent of the popular vote- he becomes the next Congressman from GA-6 Congressional district, the only Caucasian Democratic member of the GA Congressional election since 2014 when Barrow-D left.
Ossoff-D falls short of 50 percent-he has to compete in the June 20 runoff against Karen Handel-R. Ossoff-D wins the June 20 runoff or Handel-R wins the June 20 runoff.
If Ossoff-D wins today's election or June 20 runnoff election, he is favored to win re-election in 2018.
If Ossoff-D loses the June 20 runoff election to Handel-R, he could still win in 2018. Handel could lose in the Republican primary runoff against the most right-wing/controversial candidate who then will lose to Ossoff-D.

If you have ever run for political office (I have) you know how exhausting it is and you are asking Ossoff to possibly run 3 times in a year and a half. Not many people could do it.
