Some of the polls in Georgia are closed -- here's a reminder of what's at stake. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/news/state--re…

A few results are starting to trickle in, but we don’t expect significant numbers until at least after 10 p.m. #gapol #gasen

You can follow along here for results, though it's going to take a while #gapol ajc.com/news/gen-polit…

Still way too early, but these figures point to the challenge of avoiding a runoff with so many candidates on the ballot each pulling a few percentage points. #gasen

(Very) early results for Gwinnett and Cobb have @ossoff over the 50% mark in those key counties. #gasen #gapol

@ossoff LIVE UPDATES: Early returns trickling in but long night ahead #gapol ajc.com/blog/politics/…

@ossoff We're still in a holding pattern in the #gasen race, with @ossoff near the 50-mark and most of metro ATL -- his base -- still outstanding. As expected, Gurtler and Greene jump to early leads in 9th and 14th Districtd races. #gapol

@ossoff Most operatives/analysts I'm hearing from think Ossoff will get a majority of the vote and avoid a runoff as metro Atlanta precincts begin reporting, but it's early & this larger electorate is still hard to predict. #gasen

Story idea: Trip to Miller County to delve into the #gasen results there.

@ossoff In Georgia's swing 7th District, Republican Rich McCormick and Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux are hovering around the 50-mark. Most precincts still outstanding. Both were expected to land in runoffs, but ... who knows. #gapol #ga07

@ossoff Jon @ossoff has now hit 48% of the vote, with most of Fulton and no DeKalb results in. He's increasingly looking likely to avoid a runoff. #gasen

House Minority Leader Bob Trammell is facing an unexpectedly tough primary challenge in his rural district, one of the few held by a Democrat that Trump carried in 2016. #gapol

The race for Georgia Supreme Court Justice Charlie Bethel’s seat is unexpectedly close. He leads Beth Beskin, a former Atlanta legislator, but the margin could tighten w/ more ATL results. No sitting justice in the history of the 175-year court has ever lost an election. #gapol

@ossoff The #ga07 race is still tight, with Republican Rich McCormick and Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux both around 50% mark. Neither have declared victory with the precincts still outstanding. #gapol

Update: @TrammellBob notches a victory. #gapol

@ossoff This is one of the surprises of the night, as @RichforGA was expected to land in a runoff against state Sen. Renee Unterman, a veteran lawmaker who sponsored Georgia's anti-abortion law. Instead, he won the GOP nod for the swing district outright. #gapol

Says McCormick: “Tonight’s election results prove that our community wants new, conservative leadership. With faith, hard work and trust in the electorate, our campaign exceeded all expectations.” #gapol #ga07
