But Louisiana has a possible run off in December as could Georgia in January.

What November results would lead to runoffs in these states?

*******************

In La Nov. 4, is their primary election, jungle primary, where all candidates are on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation. It takes 50% +1 to win out right or there is a runoff in Dec. between the top two vote getters.

A Libertarian candidate keeping either major party candidate under 50%. Chambliss was forced into a run-off in 2010 against Jim Martin. Libertarian candidates do somewhat decently (for a third party) in Georgia, usually around 2-3% statewide.
