Runoff Anticipated in Atlanta Mayor Election

At 11:25 p.m. with 75% of precincts reporting, the City of Atlanta is anticipating a runoff in the mayoral race. Currently Mary Norwood has 46% of the vote and Kasim Reed has 37% of the vote. A contestant must have over 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff election.

Lisa Borders conceded just after 11 p.m., with only 14% of the vote at the time of this post.

The runoff election, if it happens, will be on December 1, 2009.
