FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — It’s Election Day in Georgia. All eyes will be on the gubernatorial race where incumbent Brian Kemp is expected to handily defeat former Senator David Perdue despite President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Perdue.

This 2022 General Primary and Non-partisan General Election follows weeks of early voting that shattered turnout records and produced 857,000 votes, three times the number of votes recorded in the 2018 mid-term election. The turnout should silence Democrat claims that the new Georgia voting law would suppress the vote. Republicans cast 406,000 votes to Democrats 299,000.

If the polls are correct, US Senate candidate Herschel Walker, who also has Trump’s endorsement, will run away from five Republican challengers much as the legendary running back used to run away from opponents at the University of Georgia.

Other high-profile races to be contested include US Congress, Lt. Governor and Secretary of State. and attorney general. Here in Forsyth County several down-ballot races will garner a lot of attention, including State Representative races in the 24th, 25th, 27th, 28th and 48th districts.

Parents with children in the Forsyth County School System will have their eyes on the Board of Education races in District 1 and District 5. Former hospital CEO Dennis Scheidt is trying to unseat Chairman Wes McCall in the District 1 race and Mike Valdes and Erin Knight are the candidates in District 5.

Polls will open at 7 am and are expected to close at 7 pm.
