There are NO RUN-OFFS in a General Election. The top vote-getter wins; that simple. Clinton was elected two times and never got 50% of the vote.
I’m not aware of a serious third party candidate in Georgia.
In the general election, all the states I know about just require a plurality, not a majority.
I will guess Georgia is the same.
You mean before computerized voting and tabulation?

Tuesday 6 January 2015 - Federal General Election Runoff. Polling hours 7:00a EST (1200 UTC) to 7:00p EST (0000 UTC).
WOW! That’s a shocker! First I ever heard of a General Election run-off. Do all 50 States have this?

This article says that Thad Cochran is also under 50% in Mississippi. See my Post #60 regarding that situation in MS.
No, but Louisiana jungle primary is in November 4 with all candidates on ballot, if you don’t get 50%, top voter getters runoff Dec 6.
