Updated: Favors is leading Clark in 28th District race

A voter leaves a polling site after casting a ballot Tuesday, July 26, 2016, in Atlanta. Two Republicans faced off for a shot at replacing a retiring west Georgia congressman as runoff elections were held across the state Tuesday, as challengers also sought to oust several incumbent state lawmakers. Georgians returned to the polls in several races that required runoffs because no candidate won more than half the vote in the May 24 primaries.
