Discussion Megathread: Georgia Primary Runoff Election

Posted: 24 Jul 2018 07:12 AM PDT

Voters across Georgia are deciding some of the most important races in the state in Tuesday's runoffs. Contests for governor, Congress and other elected offices are up for grabs.

Republican Party voters can choose among the party's two finalists for governor, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Secretary of State Brian Kemp. The winner will advance to the Nov. 6 general election against Democrat Stacey Abrams. Other Republican races include contests for lieutenant governor and secretary of state.

On the Democratic Party side, there are runoffs for two metro Atlanta congressional seats. Lucy McBath faces Kevin Abel In the race for the 6th Congressional District, which covers parts of Cobb, DeKalb and Fulton counties. In the 7th District, which covers parts of Forsyth and Gwinnett counties, Carolyn Bourdeaux will compete against David Kim. Democrats will also decide on their party's nominee for state schools superintendent.

In addition, there are six Republican and two Democratic runoffs for state House seats.

Who can vote: Any registered voter in Georgia can vote in the runoff election. Georgia has open primaries, which means voters can choose either party's ballot without having to register with that party. However, if you voted in one party's primary on May 22, you must vote in that runoff on Tuesday. Voters who didn't vote in May can vote in either runoff.

Voters must report to their neighborhood precincts to cast their ballots on Election Day. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. statewide. Look up your voting information and view sample ballots on www.mvp.sos.ga.gov or through the GA SOS app for Apple and Android cellphones.

I’m Hunter Walker, White House Correspondent for Yahoo News. Ask Me Anything!

Posted: 24 Jul 2018 09:17 AM PDT

Hello! My name is Hunter Walker and I am a reporter who covers the White House for Yahoo! News. I am from Brooklyn, but I moved to DC right as President Trump took office. I joined Yahoo in October 2015, right as the election was kicking off and spent the next fifteen months or so on the campaign trail. On the road, I had the chance to see all of the top candidates up close and ended up mainly focusing on Trump. I came to Yahoo after editing the politics section at Business Insider and spent a couple years covering City Hall in New York. Prior to getting into politics, I reported on Hollywood for two years and focused on both gossip and the TV industry. I look forward to answering your questions!
