Georgia Primary: Voters head to polls as key governor, Senate races take shape

KINGSLAND, Ga. – Georgians turned out at the polls Tuesday for the state’s primary election, with voters in Camden County casting ballots that will help determine November’s candidates in some of the state’s most closely watched races for governor and U.S. Senate.

A steady flow of voters moved through the Camden County Recreation Center throughout the day. The Georgia Secretary of State said as of the weekend before the election, one million ballots had already been cast statewide.

Voters made their voices heard

Brett Kuppler, who voted at the Recreation Center Tuesday afternoon, said civic participation drives him to the polls every cycle.

“I always try to participate in all the elections,” Kuppler said. “I want to make sure I get my voice heard, whether it’s just a ballot or any other time. It’s just a good thing to do. It’s good for patriotism and it’s good for our country.”

Polls closed at 7 p.m.
