Demokrater i Georgia vinner primärval till delstatens public service-kommission inför novembervalet

Väljare i Georgia röstade denna vecka i primärvalen för två platser i delstatens public service-kommission. Demokraterna säkrade nomineringarna, vilket bäddar för val i november som kan komma att förändra maktbalansen i den fem personer starka nämnden.

Georgia är en av tio delstater som väljer sina tillsynsmyndigheter för allmännyttiga tjänster. Public service-kommissionen beslutar om elpriser för nästan 3 miljoner kunder och utformar hur energi produceras i delstaten. Primärvalet den 19 maj följde på en tidigare valcykel där två sittande republikaner röstades bort och demokrater för första gången på 20 år fick platser i nämnden.
