History

"Pete" McDuffie, previously a member of the Georgia Senate, got 2,176 votes. Another candidate got 1,552 votes. McDuffie dropped out of the race, and in a runoff election in January 1978, McDermitt won, taking 3,209 votes while his opponent, the third place holder from the 1977 special election, had 2,834 votes. More than half of the eligible voters had voted in the runoff.[4]
