Georgia Democratic Senate primary too early to call
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic Senate primary in Georgia is too early to call.
In Georgia, candidates must win more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff.
With more than half of the expected vote counted at 1:30 a.m. EDT, Jon Ossoff has approximately 48% of the counted vote. He leads Teresa Tomlinson, who has roughly 16% of the counted vote, and Sarah Riggs Amico, with about 13%.
The Associated Press will continue to monitor the race as election officials in Georgia continue to report results.
Georgia Democrats fielded seven contenders in their effort to choose a challenger for Republican Sen. David Perdue in November, who had no Republican opponent.
