President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump were the big winners in Coffee County during Georgia’s Presidential Primary Tuesday night.
Only 2,040 voters out of 22,663 turned out to cast their ballots Tuesday — a 6.8 percent turnout.
On the Democratic ballot, President Biden received 455 votes. Dean Phillips received 16 votes while Marianne Williamson garnered 13.
Former president Trump was overwhelmingly the top candidate on the Republican ticket. Trump received 1,944 votes. While most of the other Republican candidates have dropped out of the race or suspended their campaigns, they were still on the ballot. Nikki Haley earned 67 votes while Ron DeSantis got 14. Tim Scott received five votes and Chris Christie three. The rest of the candidates received one or zero votes.
At the time of this writing, votes were still being counted in the states that hosted primaries Tuesday. However, President Biden had secured the Democratic nomination while Trump was closing in on the number of delegates he needed to officially become the Republican nominee.
