Unfortunately for me, the election isn't truly over here in Georgia. In order to win an election in this state, a candidate must get a majority of the vote, not just a plurality. There was a Libertarian candidate on the ballot for the U.S. Senate race, and he pulled 3.4%. In a close race, that was enough, though. Right now, with 99% of the precincts reporting, the candidate in first place has 49.8%. <sigh> In all likelihood we're headed for a run off between the top 2 candidates and 4 more weeks of incredibly ugly campaign ads. Fabulous.
