Georgia election officials are postponing the state’s March 24 presidential primaries until May because of fears over the coronavirus.
Georgia’s March 24 presidential primaries will be postponed until May because of fears over the new coronavirus, state election officials announced Saturday, a day after Louisiana also pushed back its primaries.
In addition to public safety, one of the biggest considerations was the risk the virus posed to poll workers, who are often older, election officials said. The Democratic race has been narrowed to a two-man matchup between former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Biden has been beating Sanders among key demographics at play in Georgia Democratic politics, including African Americans and suburban voters, and he has been endorsed by a slew of state and local officials.
