Georgia early voting starts
Georgia voters can cast early ballots today through July 18 in the runoff between U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston and David Perdue for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination.
Recent polls show Kingston, who represents Georgia’s 1st Congressional District, running ahead of Perdue, a wealthy businessman and cousin of former governor Sonny Perdue. But according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Perdue’s own poll shows the two in a statistical dead heat.
The winner of the July 22 primary will face Democrat Michelle Nunn, CEO of the Points of Light foundation and daughter of longtime senator Sam Nunn. The race is to replace Republican Saxby Chambliss, who is retiring.
