Some 20,000 voters cast ballots Tuesday in Hall County for a Republican primary runoff that included five races not decided July 31. That number, almost 25 percent of registered voters, is more than 15 percentage points higher than in 2008, which saw a turnout of almost 8.7 percent. It’s only about 10 percentage points behind the July 31 primary, which saw almost 35 percent turnout.
