ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia voters will decide whether several Republican congressmen should keep their seats against conservative challengers and choose nominees for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Johnny Isakson.
Dozens of state legislative and local races also are on Tuesday's primary ballot.
If no candidate receives a majority in any race, the top two move to a July 26 runoff election.
Early voting results suggest turnout is being influenced by local races across the state. Secretary of State Brian Kemp says turnout in counties with heated congressional races and local contests for sheriff, judge or school officials is outpacing other places.
State election officials reported about 329,000 people cast or mailed in ballots early. It's no surprise that's behind the record-breaking 417,000 who voted early in March's presidential primaries.
