It's Election Day here in Texas,
and your vote will set the stage
for a very crucial midterm
election here in November.
But there are a few big
runoffs on today's ballot,
including a big statewide race.
Our Suzanne Bruner is live in Dallas
County with what you need to know
before you head to the polls. And
what kind of activity have you actually
seen out there so far this morning, Suzanne.
Well, Cleo, I can definitely tell you.
You can tell it is Election Day out here at
our Redeemer Lutheran Church here in Dallas.
We've seen voters walk in and out of those
doors right behind me to cast their ballot.
A roughly 300 voters so far coming in here.
But this is the second
election we've seen this month,
and this is essentially going to
decide the primary election races
that were close for runoffs.
Now a couple of things that you
need to know this time around.
If you voted in the Republican primary
in March, you will be able to vote for
the party's nominee for Attorney General,
and that's between incumbent.
Ken Paxton and Texas Land
commissioner George P Bush.
Also, if you voted on the
Democrat ballot in March,
the race to replace Congresswoman
Eddie Bernice Johnson is the
big one in North Texas.
Johnson's been the Democratic
nominee in every election since 1992.
But her retirement means either Jasmine
Crockett or Jane Hamilton will be the
party's nominee to take the seat,
representing most of southern Dallas
County and take a look at this here.
People in Tarrant County have been
showing up to the polls all morning.
This is a look at the unofficial turn out.
As of a few minutes ago,
there have been around.
At 9000 ballots cast and about
42,000 people have voted early.
Now to learn more about the big races.

Thank you for other states have
primaries today
as well, including Alabama,
Arkansas and Minnesota,
but the nation will really be watching
those results out of Georgia.
It was a swing state in
the presidential election.
And at the center of false
claims of election fraud,
ABC's Steve Osunsami reports that
those claims have had a huge impact
on the Peach state primaries.
Most of the action in Georgia's
primary election is with the
Republicans and at the top of the
ticket as current Governor Brian Kemp.
He's leading the polls despite being
the one politician here who former
President Donald Trump wants to
remove the most Trump's former vice
president was in Georgia Monday night,
taking sides with the governor.
I mean, I can honestly say I was
for Brian Kemp before it was cool.
The election here is being seen as a
test of just how important a voice Donald
Trump still has in the Republican Party.
Brian Kemp is a turncoat,
is a coward.
The former president has endorsed
and campaigned for former
Senator David Perdue calling.
Am a sellout for refusing to
overturn the 2020 presidential
election results in Georgia,
where Joe Biden won.
We have to win. We wanna win and
we have a governor that's done the
worst job of any governor in probably
decades on election integrity. The
winner will face Democrat Stacey Abrams.
In November, the Republican voters who say
they still admire the former president,
told us that his wishes aren't everything.
I think there's a lot of
misunderstanding about Republicans.
Not all Republicans are like Trump.
Trump doesn't represent most Republicans.
President Trump is also targeted.
Georgia Secretary of State and
Cumbent Brad Raffensberger,
who famously refused in this phone call
to find the former president more votes.
Well Mr. President, the challenge that
you have is the data you have is wrong.
One of Raffensberger's opponents
is Congressman Jody Heist,
who voted against certifying
the 2020 election results.
The winner of that race could
play a consequential role in the
next presidential election here.
If Georgia comes down to the wire again.
Congressman Heiss is one of nearly
two dozen election deniers supported
by Donald Trump who are running for
Secretary of State in 18 places,
and these are mostly positions about
running elections here in Georgia.
Herschel Walker, the football icon,
is expected to win his Republican
primary for U.S. Senate.
That would mean he faces incumbent
Raphael Warnock in the fall,
which would pit 2 black men against each
other for the US Senate seat in Georgia.
