There really is an election Tuesday, and it does happen to be the third vote to fill an open seat on the Georgia Court of Appeals. There's no official estimate of turnout, but the few statewide general election runoffs held in recent decades have generally attracted less than 10 percent of the electorate. For a "down ballot" race like a judgeship, political veterans informally predict turnout will be on the low end, although the race might hold more interest for lawyers.
