2000 United States Senate special election in Georgia
The 2000 United States Senate special election in Georgia was held on November 7, 2000 to complete the unexpired term of the late Paul Coverdell. Democratic incumbent Zell Miller won over Mack Mattingly in a landslide. Miller defeated Republican Mack Mattingly, a former U.S. senator, in a landslide of over 20 points, carrying 149 of the state's 159 counties. Although this race was held on a nonpartisan basis, the Democratic Party would not win a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia again until 2021, when Raphael Warnock won a special election to fill the same seat and Jon Ossoff won the regular election for the Class 2 seat. Until 2026, this is the last time a Democrat won a Senate race in the state by double digits.
