YES is the displayed answer that matches both the party of the first-placed candidate and the size of the winning margin in the first round of the 2026 election for the US House of Representatives in Georgia's 8th congressional district (GA-08), currently expected on 3 November 2026. Only that first round counts; any later runoff is ignored. The margin is the absolute gap, in percentage points, between the vote shares of the candidates placed first and second, where each share is that candidate's valid votes divided by all valid votes in the race. The Democratic and Republican answers stand for those parties' official nominees; an independent or third-party candidate stands for neither, and if a named nominee is replaced before election day, that party's answers follow the replacement nominee. The answer 'Democratic lead of any size' is YES whenever the Democratic nominee finishes first in that first round, whatever the margin and whether or not a runoff follows. A margin exactly on the line between two brackets goes to the higher bracket. If the Democratic and Republican nominees tie for the most valid votes, the smallest-margin bracket of whichever of them has the surname, as printed on the ballot, that comes first alphabetically is YES, even though the answers are shown by party. If one of these nominees ties for first place with a candidate who is neither nominee, that nominee's smallest-margin bracket is YES. If the most valid votes go only to candidates who are neither the Democratic nor the Republican nominee, including a tie among such candidates, every answer is NO. The result counts once the vote count is official; if a recount begins before then, wait until it is finished and the result is official. If no definitive result is known by 30 June 2027 at 11:59 PM ET, every answer is NO. The official result from the state authority that certifies the election decides; overwhelming agreement among reliable news reports may also be used. At most one answer is YES; all others are NO.
