Other Election Results In Georgia Primary Races

In addition to closely watched primary races for governor, Georgia voters Tuesday found plenty of contests further down the ballot that ultimately will shape the fall general elections.

Open seats for lieutenant governor and secretary of state resulted in competitive primary races for both Republicans and Democrats — and the GOP contests won’t be settled until a runoff is held July 24. Meanwhile, Georgia’s GOP state school superintendent overcame a primary challenge by an old political foe.

Five Georgia congressmen also defended their seats against primary challengers from their own parties. But they’ll be back on the ballot with fresh opponents in the fall general election.
