Research notes & limits
Slate confirmed by Atlanta News First and The Green Papers; the Georgia Secretary of State's candidate list blocked automated access (403) and was not read. The runoff percentage for the Democratic runoff was dropped because the figure could not be confirmed (the state's runoff comparison sheet could not be opened). No Libertarian or other nominee appears. General runoff, if needed, December 1, 2026.
