Tuesday’s ballot was led by the Republican runoff for governor between Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and health care executive Rick Jackson in which the latter prevailed.
Jackson will face Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms in November, setting up one of the state’s highest-profile general election matchups.
Voters will also settle who will represent them in the U.S. Senate: Incumbent Jon Ossoff or U.S. Rep. Mike Collins.
That race will help determine the balance of power in Washington and is expected to draw heavy outside spending and national attention.
