Georgia’s two U.S. senators and their nine fellow Republican U.S. House members are joining those who want a delay in the state’s May 19 primary election.

The 11 officials signed a letter Tuesday to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger urging him to put off the elections.

“We encourage you to use all available flexibility and legal authority to delay the primary until the latest possible date,” the group wrote.
