The special election to fill the remainder of the late Rep. David Scott's (D-Ga.) term in the U.S. House of Representatives is heading to a runoff, according to Decision Desk HQ. None of the five candidates competing for the vacant seat secured more than 50 percent of the vote, forcing a runoff between the top two finishers: Scott's daughter, Marcye Scott, and an unnamed Gwinnett candidate. The election was called after Scott's death, and the runoff will determine who serves the remainder of his term in Georgia's congressional district.
