Election Results
Tight Race for the Runoff
originally published June 20, 2007
As of this writing, unofficial results in the 10th Congressional District special election are showing a runoff between Augusta-area Republican Jim Whitehead and Athens Republican Paul Broun, Jr. It is not out of the realm of possibility that there will be a recount to double-check which candidate will face Whitehead in the runoff, because Broun leads Democrat James Marlow by only about 200 votes.
All other candidates stayed below the 5 percent line, with Lincolnton Democrat Denise Freeman surprising some observers with her 2500-plus votes. Many observers were equally surprised with the poor performance of far-right Braselton Republican Bill Greene at 3 percent flat.
The list below shows the unofficial results with 97 percent of precincts reporting. A county-by-county breakdown and updates on the election returns (as they become available) are on the Georgia Secretary of State’s website at http://sos.georgia.gov/elections/election_results/2007_0619/026.htm.
