The runoff election for two state offices is coming up on this Tuesday, December 4th. There are two offices that will be decided by voters.
For Secretary of State, voters will pick between Brad Raffensperger (R) and John Barrow (D) for Secretary of State. Raffensperger is a former state representative and John’s Creek City Councilman, and Barrow is a former U.S. Representative.

This occurred largely because Libertarian candidate Smythe Duvall received a larger portion enough portion of votes. Duvall, not qualifying for the runoff with just over 2% of the total vote, has endorsed Barrow in the runoff election; Duvall said that Barrow’s views on needed reforms in the Secretary of State’s office line up closely with his own .
