佐治亚州选民周二选出下一任州长，现任两届州长布赖恩·肯普（共和党）因任期限制无法寻求连任。共和党提名商人里克·杰克逊以保住州长府。
Georgians on Tuesday pick their next governor with incumbent two-term Gov. Brian Kemp (R) ineligible to seek reelection. Republicans nominated businessman Rick Jackson to keep the governor's mansion in their column.
杰克逊在初选决选中以略多于5个百分点的优势击败了州副州长伯特·琼斯，后者同时获得了特朗普总统和肯普的背书。
Jackson defeated state Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who was backed by both President Trump and Kemp, in the primary runoff by just more than 5 points.
佐治亚州州务卿布拉德·拉芬斯珀格因在2020年坚决反对特朗普的选举否认论而引人注目，他也参加了初选但未能进入决选。
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who notably stood up to Trump's election denials in 2020, ran in the primary but did not make the runoff.
凯莎·兰斯·博托姆斯是民主党提名人，她曾任亚特兰大市长和拜登政府官员。
Keisha Lance Bottoms, the former mayor of Atlanta and Biden administration official, is the Democratic nominee in the race.
她在竞争激烈的初选中获得56%的选票，该初选还包括前副州长杰夫·邓肯，后者因批评特朗普而转党。投票于美国东部时间晚上7点结束。
She won 56 percent of the vote in a crowded primary that also included former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who switched parties after criticizing Trump. Polls close at 7 p.m. EST.
