Georgia voters headed to the polls Tuesday to settle several key primary campaigns besides the heated Republican race for governor.

As Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Secretary of State Brian Kemp have their final showdown in the GOP nominating contest to succeed departing Gov. Nathan Deal, voters also are deciding Republican runoffs for the two statewide offices that Cagle and Kemp are vacating.

Democratic voters, meanwhile, were picking a nominee to challenge Georgia’s GOP state school superintendent in November, and also selecting Democratic opponents for two Republican congressmen.
