ATLANTA — The runoff for the U.S. Senate is expected to cost taxpayers over $10 million in the Atlanta area alone and many millions of dollars more across Georgia.
Critics of Georgia’s runoff system say it’s wasteful and unnecessary.
Georgia is one of two states, along with Louisiana, that require a runoff after a general election when no candidate wins a majority of votes cast. Mississippi will also begin holding runoffs as soon as next year.
