Coan will represent the state's 82nd House District. Another politician familiar to county voters, Scott Ferguson, didn't make the runoff for the House's 79th District seat.

That special election will be held Aug. 6 between Tom Rice, who captured 49 percent of the vote, and John Schwab, who won 23.3 per- cent, in a four-person race. Tom Lawler, a former district attorney, was forced into a runoff against Elizabeth Blackwell to become the county's next clerk of court. Also headed for a runoff is a heated race for a judge's seat on the Georgia Court of Appeals. The candidates have been whittled down to incumbent Judge Gary Andrews and attorney Mark Mer-ritt.

In a local referendum, Lawrenceville voters decided to approve the sale of liquor by the drink in the city. But it is the apparent end of Wall's political career that stands out among the returns. The Democrat-turned-Republican had weathered numerous challenges from his own party in the past and had always been sent back to the Legislature by voters in his district. As in past years, the state Republican Party had supported his opponent. But in past years he had drawn opposition, mostly from women who made abortion rights a prominent part of their platform.

Coan provided a different challenge. In swearing out the warrant, Coan said he confronted Wall at about 3 a.m. after he saw the legislator tearing up his campaign signs shortly after Coan placed them along the road. After Coan complained to Judge Patricia Holman, she issued a warrant for criminal trespassing. Wall was conspicuously absent from the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center late Tuesday, where he traditionally has watched election returns to make sure his seat was still safe.

On Wednesday, Coan said, Wall called him to congratulate him on his victory. Vinson Wall served in the Georgia Legislature.
