Marcye Scott, daughter of late U.S. Rep. David Scott, is projected to lose a Georgia House special election runoff to fill the remainder of his term. Decision Desk HQ projects she will fall short against Everton Blair, who is a former Gwinnett County school board chair.
The runoff follows an earlier voting round in which Scott led. According to Fox News, she enters the final contest after coming in first in that initial round, but she ultimately loses the runoff. The Hill similarly reports that Blair emerges victorious after trailing Scott in the first-round results.
Overall, outlets agree on the matchup, the fact that the race is for the remainder of David Scott’s term, and that Scott does not win the runoff.
