Jasmine Clark

Georgia lawmakers revised a bill to limit hand recounts to the governor or lieutenant governor’s race when the margin is within half a percent, while extending the use of ballot QR codes until 2028. The bill also mandates post-election audits and a committee to select the state’s next voting system, with some provisions favoring hand-marked paper ballots over current machine systems.

Georgia voters selected Jasmine Clark as the likely next congresswoman for the 13th district and advanced other candidates to runoffs. Four congressional seats in Georgia will have new occupants next year due to three members stepping down and one death.

Georgia's primary elections on Tuesday include high-profile races for U.S. Senate and state positions, with many contests likely to require runoffs due to no candidate securing 50% of the vote. Key judicial races for the Georgia Supreme Court and secretary of state positions are highlighted, with several candidates advancing to June runoffs.

A political action committee supporting crypto interest groups spent over $4 million to support Democratic US House candidate Jasmine Clark in Georgia. The primary will test the crypto PAC's influence on the election. This significant spending indicates a strong effort to back Clark's campaign.
