Franklin County State's Attorney

Too early to call: Some towns are in, but the trailing candidate would need less than 55% of the votes still out to catch up. Very possible either way.
Leads: Ahead in the votes counted so far. The trailing candidate would need 55–70% of the votes still out to catch up: unlikely, but not ruled out.
Projected: At least 3 towns are in, and the trailing candidate would need 70% or more of the votes still out. In 2022 neither candidate won more than 68% in any Franklin County town, so we consider the race effectively decided. It's still an estimate until every town reports.
Winner: Every town has reported and the margin is at least 2 points. Results stay unofficial until the Secretary of State certifies them.
Too close to call: Every town has reported, but the margin is under 2 points, close enough that a recount could matter. We don't call it.
Declared winner: The Secretary of State has marked the results official and named a winner.

Waiting: No results from this town yet. Tiles show its 2022 margin for reference, like ’22 L+118.
Counting: Georgia, St. Albans City and St. Albans Town each report in two parts (they're split between House districts). Counting means one part is in and the other could still change who wins the town.
Called · Weight: Part of a split town is in, and the part still out is too small to overturn the lead. On the map these tiles have a folded corner.
Won · Weight Won · Lavoie: The whole town has reported and the margin is at least 2 points.
Close: The whole town has reported, but the margin is under 2 points. Hatched amber on the map.
Flip: This town went the other way in 2022.

Margin W +4: How many votes the leader is ahead by. W is Weight, L is Lavoie.
pts (percentage points): The difference between two percentages. If one candidate has 54.7% and the other 45.1%, the margin is 9.6 pts. Not the same as a percent change.
Swing 10.0 pts toward Weight: How much the margin moved since 2022 in the same town (or the same towns, for the county). If Lavoie won a town by 5 pts in 2022 and Weight wins it by 5 pts now, that's a 10-pt swing toward Weight.
Votes still out: An estimate of the votes not yet counted: each unreported town's 2022 vote, scaled by how turnout compares with 2022 in the towns already in, plus a 15% cushion so we don't call anything early.
“Needs 53% of the votes still out”: The share of the remaining votes the trailing candidate would have to win to draw level. Close to 50% means wide open; 70% or more is very unlikely.
% of expected vote: Roughly how much of tonight's total vote has been counted, using the same estimate.
2022 figures: The same two candidates' results in the Nov 8, 2022 general election: Lavoie (then a Democrat) beat Weight (then a Republican), 54.7% to 45.1%. Shown faded under tonight's numbers. In the county totals, while towns are still reporting, the 2022 figures cover only the towns fully in so far (“same 12 towns”), so a partial count is never compared with the full 2022 result.
Write-ins: Votes for anyone not printed on the ballot. They count toward each candidate's percentage.

Live · checked 12s ago: The last time this site checked the Secretary of State's results. Checking starts when polls close at 7 p.m. (nothing can change before then), and after that happens right after each update the state publishes, about every 5 minutes. The red line under the header fills up until the next check. An amber dot means the latest check is overdue.
Unofficial results: Election-night counts reported by towns. They can still change until the Secretary of State certifies them.
