UPDATE: See how Cobb County voted in the 6th district runoff on June 20.

North DeKalb County Democrat Jon Ossoff won every Cobb County precinct included in the 6th District special election, but it wasn't enough to avoid a runoff against Fulton County Republican Karen Handel.

The runoff is set for June 20.

Unofficial numbers show that 192,000 votes were cast in Tuesday's race, which garnered national attention.
