DEL.ICIO.USTaylor and Cox go down to the wire
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor maintained a lead over Secretary of State Cathy Cox late Tuesday night in the hard-fought Democratic primary race for governor.
At 11:10 p.m., with 78 percent of precincts reporting, Taylor had 51.2 percent of the vote, compared with 44.3 percent for Cox.
A candidate needs more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff.
Cox’s campaign manager told reporters he was waiting for results from precincts in DeKalb and other counties that may yield votes for Cox.
