In the state of Georgia, elections must be won with 50% of the electorate plus one vote. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the number of electors needed to win.
The total number of electors is 4,952,175
Therefore, the number of votes needed to win the election would be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4952175*50\text{ \%} \\ 2476088 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The number of votes David Perdue should have would be a total of 2,462,588 votes.
Now let's calculate the difference in votes needed
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2,476,088-2,462,588 \\ 13500 \end{gathered}[/tex]
13,500 Shane votes must move to David Perdue
In this scenario the results would be:
David Perdue: 2,476,088 (50%)
Jon Ossoff: 2,374,519 (47.9%)
Shane Hazel: 101,539 (2.1%)
