Georgia voters broke a record during yesterday's presidential primary. Secretary of State Karen Handel reports that 44% of active registered voters cast a ballot. That surpasses what is believed to be the previous high of 40 percent in 1988. With 94% of precincts reporting, just under 2-million votes had been tallied. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the Republican race in Georgia, while Sen. Barack Obama, of Illinois, received the nod from Democrats.
