Think about it:

1. the county unit system, combined with the white primary until 1945, was racist and biased against urban voters.
2. when the county unit system was struck down in 1963, the beneficiaries of the county unit system in the General Assembly voted to switch to runoff voting for future elections in order to prevent “Negroes” from “bloc voting” by allowing white voters to vote as a “bloc” in the second round.
3. when Wyche Fowler was defeated in a runoff by Paul Coverdell in 1992, the Democrats in the General Assembly voted to switch to plurality voting, only triggering a runoff if the winning candidate received 45% in the first round. The rural voters continued to bleed to the GOP, who restored the runoff requirement when they took the General Assembly in 2005.
4. the number of runoffs statewide has increased as the two parties have realigned and the Atlanta ring has widened, from one each in 2006 (PSC) and 2008 (Senate) to two in 2018 (SoS and PSC) to three in 2020 (two Senate, 1 PSC).

So how many December-January runoffs are we going to have in 2022? And how are we supposed to excuse the baldly-racist justification of the runoff system?
