While all results from Tuesday’s primary elections remain unofficial—and a few, like the District 2 Cobb Board of Commissioners Republican race—are still too close to call—we’re serving up here a breakdown how voters in the county, and in particular East Cobb, voted the way they did in a variety of local, state and federal elections.
Absentee ballot-counting is going on this weekend, and a controversy that’s sure to linger into the November general election centers on who’s to blame for the problems many voters had on Tuesday.

Keep in mind that results won’t be certified until next Friday, and that runoffs will take place on Aug. 11 in races in which the leading vote-getter did not receive 50 percent plus one vote in the primary.
