Primary Election Results - May 19, 2026
NBC news ^ | 5/19/26

Posted on 05/19/2026 3:48:28 PM PDT by CFW

In Georgia, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp is term-limited, opening up the governorship and creating crowded primaries on both sides. President Donald Trump has endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, but wealthy businessman Rick Jackson has proven a durable, free-spending rival on the Republican side.

On the Democratic side, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has led primary polls but faces a large slate of rivals. If no candidate gets a majority in a primary, the top two contenders will advance to a June 16 runoff.

In Kentucky, we have House District 4 with incumbent Thomas Massie trying to maintain his seat with a challenge from Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein.

There are multiple other races in those two states along with primaries in Pennsylvania, Oregon, Idaho, and Alabama.

Raffensberger better lose. He tried to cheat though by only allowing him and his team in the basement to count the ballots.

No doubt...he was thinking he could cheat for himself like he did for them.

They had a handshake deal to keep the dems and raff...in power. Trump blew that up though.

The judge vacated his order from this morning. Raffensberger went to him and said “We didn’t get a chance to object”. So, Ratberger is back in charge of the election hub for this evening. A hearing will be held on May 28th; way too late to make a difference.

I believe several GOP candidates are contesting it and working to get a federal court to intervene.

Not looking good for Massie right out of the gate. Let’s see if he can gain as the night goes on or if this is a sign of things to come.

“Election Day turnout is more Massie?”


I don’t think so. I don’t think either have an advantage on election day voters.

With 13.3 percent in, Gallrein is leading by 2300 votes.
