Perdue, Loeffler win in Forsyth County

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. –Republicans in Forsyth County gave incumbent Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler their overwheming endorsement in the U.S. Senate runoff election Tuesday.

Perdue received 75,734 votes to Democrat Jon Ossoff’s 33,764. Loeffler defeated Rev. Raphael Warnock 34,456. Republican Party Chairman Patrick Bell said he was pleased with the Republican’s effort to get out the vote in his county.

“We had people all day today trying to get people to the polls.” Bell added, however, he was concerned with the statewide vote.

But the effort may not be enough. When Forsyth County’s votes were reported at about 11:30 p.m. Warnock had just taken a 26,000 vote lead over Loeffler and Perdue saw his lead drop from about 118,000 votes to just 3,000 after 130,000 votes were reported from heavily Democrat DeKalb County.
