Voting results in South Georgia were pretty much in sync with eventual winners across Georgia during Tuesday’s General Election.
Republican candidates dominated the Democrat opposition in the area by a near average unofficially of 90 percent to 10%. State-wide totals cut the margins to smaller margins of victory.
Governor Brian Kemp garnered 73.09% of the vote in Ware County, 90.04% in Pierce County, 92.44% in Brantley County, and 89.01% in Bacon County in his race with Democrat Stacey Abrams. The final margin was 53% for Kemp to 47% for Abrams.
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker easily carried the four-county area against incumbent Raphael Warnock with 70.74% of the vote in Ware, 88.25% in Pierce, 90.23% in Brantley, and 86.36% in Bacon.
There will be a runoff between the two with neither candidate receiving more than 50% of the votes. Warnock, who dominated the northern part of the state, collected 49.4% to Walker’s 48.5%.
