Democrats: Which Stacey do you prefer and why?

[KingSweden]

Democrats: Which Stacey do you prefer and why?

Not a GA primary voter but: I think both are flawed in their own way, and I’m skeptical either defeats Cagle in November.

[Podgy the Bear]

Democrats: Which Stacey do you prefer and why?

Voted Evans.  She would run the stronger race in November, though I doubt she will win tonight.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Democrats: Which Stacey do you prefer and why?

Voted Evans.  She would run the stronger race in November, though I doubt she will win tonight.

Same here.  I will have no qualms about voting for either Stacey in November.

[Bacon King]

I voted Abrams today because I think her strategy for November is much more likely to bear fruit than Evans'

[Bacon King]

Additionally I voted for both John Barrow and Doug Stoner in their respective races today (as should any self-respecting member of the Atlas Forum DeleGAtion)

[Horus]

I voted Abrams today because I think her strategy for November is much more likely to bear fruit than Evans'

Results will be on the NYT page as usual.

Geography of the vote:  Cagle wins most Metro Atlanta counties but Kemp does strong in East Georgia and South Georgia.  Cagle held to under 50% in Gwinnett.  Tippins' best county is DeKalb.  Abrams wins everything outside of a few North Georgia counties; however, Evans surprises and wins at least one Metro county (not sure which is most likely, probably Cherokee or Forsyth).

Oh, and Harry Sims is elected mayor of Athens tonight and avoids a runoff with Kelly Girtz.

Democrats: Which Stacey do you prefer and why?

Voted Evans.  She would run the stronger race in November, though I doubt she will win tonight.

lol, seriously?  Her campaign is based on a one-trick pony issue, and you barely know she even exists (as a human being), let alone that she's running for the highest office in the state.

My predictions (I stole Del's formatting)

Democratic Primary:
(✓) Stacey Abrams - 63%
Stacey Evans - 37%

Republican Primary:
Casey Cagle - 45% ✓R
Brian Kemp - 28% ✓R
Hunter Hill - 11%
Clay Tippins - 8%
Michael Williams - 8%

Very few results are in so both numbers will probably change a lot, but just want to brag that my GOP numbers are super close w/ the few results we have so far

[GeorgiaModerate]

These appear to be early votes from a scattering of counties:

L.S. 'CASEY' CAGLE (REP)47.84%742
REP REP   HUNTER HILL (REP)12.51%194
REP REP   BRIAN KEMP (REP)23.92%371

[Del Tachi]

I suspect Election Day vote will be substantially better for Kemp and Evans than EV totals, respectively.  ED turnout should skew older, Whiter and more rural.

[GeorgiaModerate]

REP REP   L.S. 'CASEY' CAGLE (REP) 39.37% 4,144
REP REP   HUNTER HILL (REP) 14.79% 1,557
REP REP   BRIAN KEMP (REP) 31.71% 3,338

DEM DEM   STACEY ABRAMS (DEM) 64.77% 2,607
DEM DEM   STACEY EVANS (DEM) 35.23% 1,418

None of this is from metro ATL.

First County to fully report is Brantley:

Abrams - 24
Evans - 15

Cagle - 119
Kemp - 108
Hill - 38

[Jeppe]

I might be wrong, but I think that John Barrow is going to lose to Dee Dawkins-Haigler. I just can't see him doing well in the Atlanta metro, and this is sorta 2018's theme.

[GAKas]

Oglethorpe initial results with the 121-0 lead for Abrams lmao

edit: Damn they added the 67 for Evans. Less funny now

[Bacon King]

Barrow might be forced into a runoff but he's definitely winning, whether tonight or on July 24th

[Del Tachi]

Early vote shows Cagle with 51.8% of the vote in his home county (Hall).  No early vote yet in Kemp's home county (Clarke) but the one next door (Oconee) is 55.2% for him.

[GAKas]

There's a real chance that Abrams could go north of 66% with metro Atlanta still to be counted right?

Also looks all but certain that Kemp will do just enough to get to a run off as well

[Pollster]

If these numbers hold, incredibly good night for Stacey Abrams.

[Sestak]

Abrams vs. Runoff...probably the best result possible for Abrams (and Dems)
