## Resource

Georgia’s 13th Congressional District is in the thick of a high-stakes special election this Tuesday, with the seat vacated by the late Rep. David Scott. With the House majority razor-thin, this race could tip the balance of power. Six candidates — four Democrats including Marcye Scott (his daughter) and Everton Blair (former school board chair), and two Republicans — are vying for the seat. The winner is decided by a simple majority; if no one gets over 50%, the top two advance to a runoff August 25. State Rep. Donna Scott Clark opted out, citing potential redistricting and her current role. Early turnout is strong, with nearly 8,700 ballots already cast — mostly from Gwinnett and Clayton counties. Polls close at 7 PM ET, and the AP will only declare a winner when it’s mathematically certain — no projections. A recount may be triggered if the top two are within half a percent, but the AP might still call the race if the lead is insurmountable. This is just the first step — a potential runoff and then the November midterms loom. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
