« Morning update on Gwinnett results »

As far as outcomes, there is no change in the result of the Gwinnett races this morning. However, the near final tally in the District 5 school board race between Republican Louise Radloff and Democrat challenger Ravindra Kumar has the margin down to less than 600 votes. Depending on the status of absentee and early voting ballot counts, this one might not be over and Gwinnett may face the reality that a Democrat has managed to get a toehold in local government.
On the state level, it now appears that Saxby Chambliss will be forced into a runoff for the U.S. Senate. If so, turnout will be key in the December 2 runoff. Democrats across the state are energized with the Obama victory so Republicans cannot stay at home and allow Democrat Jim Martin to come from behind and take away the Georgia Senate seat from the GOP. Gwinnett as a base of conservative Republican votes must turn out big for Saxby.
