Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is calling for an end to runoff elections in the state, saying counties struggled to meet deadlines during the newly truncated balloting that ended in a US Senate victory for Democrats last week.
“Georgia is one of the only states in the country with a general election runoff,” Raffensperger said Wednesday in an emailed release. “We’re also one of the only states that always seems to have a runoff.”
