Floyd County voters also chose state Sen. Colton Moore over challenger Angela Pence in the GOP primary.

With 10% of counties complete, it appears there is a potential of a runoff for the Democratic Party nomination for the 14th District Congressional seat. Candidate Shawn Harris holds a lead, but as of 9 p.m. doesn't have the required 50 plus one percent to avoid a runoff. As of 9 p.m it appears that runoff may be in a runoff with Clarence Blalock.

That would take place on June 18.

A Georgia Supreme Court seat will also be decided in Tuesday’s election, along with the Democratic nominee to face U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Rome, in November.

There are no Democrats running for Floyd County sheriff or clerk of court, so the winners of the Republican primary will appear alone on the general election ballot this fall.
