TIFTON — With 100 percent of Georgia districts reporting, Brian Kemp has handily won the Republican nomination for the Georgia governor race.

Kemp won 1,735 votes in Tift County compared to opponent Casey Cagle’s 833 votes in the runoff election.

Statewide, Kemp won 406,638 votes statewide, compared to Cagle’s 178,877 statewide votes.

Kemp will face Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams in the Nov. 6 general election.

The runoff election for the Tift County Board of Education district 6 seat was won by Rusty Harrelson, who defeated Jimmy Cargle 305 to 266.

Harrelson garnered 53.42 percent of the vote, which made him the clear winner.

Harrelson received 42.86 percent of the vote in the May election and Cargle received 38.35 percent.

The third candidate, Jo Windom, received the remaining 18.79 percent of the vote in May.

Since all of the local seats were only contested by a single party, the primary and runoff winners effectively win the November election, barring write-in candidates.

Duncan received 1,382 votes in Tift County and 279,226 votes across the state. Opponent David Shafer received 1,066 local votes and 277,496 statewide.

That splits the vote by less than one percent. Under Georgia law, it’s possible to call for a recount when the the margin of victory is less than 1 percent.
