State Supreme Court and Republican congressional primary elections top Georgia ballots
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s elections on Tuesday include a state Supreme Court race that’s grown unusually heated by the sleepy standards of the state’s nonpartisan judicial elections, as well as a five-way GOP primary for an open seat in the strongly Republican 3rd Congressional District south and west of Atlanta.
Two Democratic congressional incumbents — U.S. Reps. David Scott and Lucy McBath — face primary challengers in metro Atlanta districts that were redrawn by Republicans after redistricting lawsuits.
Parties are also choosing their nominees for other congressional and state legislative seats and local offices including sheriffs, district attorneys and county commissioners.
Runoffs will be held June 18 in races where candidates don’t win a majority.
Here’s a look at key races:
STATE SUPREME COURT
The May 21 vote is the general election for judicial candidates, who run without party labels.
