Georgia voters pick Greene’s successor in the 14th District special election

Georgia voters in the 14th Congressional District are casting ballots March 10 to choose a successor to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after her resignation amid a rift with Trump.

The winner will serve the remainder of Greene’s term, with primaries for a full two-year term set for May 19 and potential runoffs before the general election in November.
