The special election to succeed the late Georgia Rep. David Scott is heading to an all-Democratic runoff after no candidate took more than 50 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s all-party primary.
With more than 95 percent of the vote in, Marcye Scott, the late congressman’s daughter, had 46 percent while former Gwinnett County School Board Chair Everton Blair had 37 percent in the five-way contest for Georgia’s 13th District, according to The Associated Press. The two Democrats will next meet in an Aug. 25 runoff.
