2007 Georgia's 10th congressional district special election
County resultsBroun : 50–60% 60-70% 70-80% 80-90%Whitehead : 50–60% 60-70% 70-80%
On June 19, 2007, the U.S. state of Georgia held a special election to fill a vacancy in Georgia's 10th congressional district . A runoff was held on July 17 with Paul Broun defeating Jim Whitehead by less than 1%.[1]
History [ edit ]
The vacancy was created by the death of incumbent Republican Charlie Norwood .[2] Norwood won reelection in 2006 with 67% of the vote.
Since this is a nonpartisan special election, all candidates for the election were listed alphabetically, though their party affiliations are noted on the ballot.[3] According to Georgia law, to win outright, a candidate needed a majority vote; since no candidate won more than 50% of the vote, the top two finishers competed in a runoff election on July 17, 2007.
Candidates [ edit ]
The following candidates were on the June 19 ballot.[3] [4] They are listed here alphabetically: first by party, then by name.
Democratic [ edit ]
Libertarian [ edit ]
Republican [ edit ]
Results [ edit ]
No candidate received a majority in the June 19 election so a runoff between Republicans Jim Whitehead and Paul Broun was held on July 17. Democrat James Marlow, the third-place finisher, had the right to request a recount within 48 hours of the official certification of the election results on June 25, 2007, due to the very small difference in total votes for himself and Broun,[5] but did not do so.[6]
