Primary runoff voting today across state

Polls are open across the state, and will stay open to voters until 7pm tonight. Primary runoff elections are being held as Georgia voters pick Democratic and Republican candidates in various races for state and local offices. State elections officials expect voter turnout to be very light--only in the single digits.

In the single statewide runoff battle, the choice is either Vernon Jones or Jim Martin for the Democratic pick for U.S. Senate. The winner here moves to November to face GOP incumbent Saxby Chambliss.
