With 84% in, Crane takes the lead in GA-3 (the presumed frontrunner, he had been down in fourth place behind a some dude early in the count). Currently, the numbers are Crane 27, Ferguson 26, Pace 24, with two to advance to a runoff. Very close.
No incumbent was held under 60, or below a 35-point margin over their nearest challenger. Georgia isn't fertile ground for primary challenges, at least at the moment. Isakson won 77-12-11, but it seems Bacallao (in third place) may have carried Fayette County; it's also possible the AP is in error here.
With 72% in statewide for the Democratic Senate nomination, Barksdale leads Copeland 53-42. Still unclear if Barksdale can pull this off without a runoff; this'll also be a fascinating map to look at.
With 37% in TX-15, Vicente Gonzalez is leading Sonny Palacios 72-28 (!) even though this began as a seemingly very narrow race. Apparently Guadalupe County (presumably Palacios' base, since he only lost there 52-48 even as no other county gave less than 2/3 of the vote to Gonzalez) was the first to count, giving us the illusion of a close race here. Gonzalez should be getting the checkmark any minute now.
A lot of Metro Atlanta isn't in yet. Expect Barksdale's lead to increase slightly.
I will have a map once all counties are at 100%.
