Duluth election results: Bottoms 67%, Ossoff 73%

Duluth voters backed Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor and Democrat Jon Ossoff for the U.S. Senate in Tuesday’s general election. Both also finished ahead statewide, with all 159 Georgia counties reporting.

The figures are unofficial. They come from the Georgia Secretary of State’s election results page, which lists every Gwinnett County precinct as complete on election night. Results stay unofficial until they are certified.

We added up the county’s 10 precincts named Duluth, Duluth A through Duluth K (there is no Duluth J). Precinct lines are set by the county and may not match the city limits exactly.

The top of the ballot

In votes, Duluth’s precincts gave Bottoms 15,211 and Jackson 7,635. Ossoff, the incumbent, took 16,584 to Collins’ 6,282.

Statewide, Bottoms had 2,268,462 votes to Jackson’s 1,908,261. Ossoff had 2,463,132 to Collins’ 1,711,322.

Democrats also led statewide for lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general and the other state offices on the ballot. In Duluth’s precincts, each of those Democrats took between 66.5% and 69.8%.

Duluth’s own districts

All 10 Duluth precincts sit in the 4th Congressional District and state Senate District 7. They are split among four state House districts.

District 99 is the one seat on Duluth ballots where an incumbent lost. Kang had 13,695 votes to Reeves’ 9,734 across the district, and 60.2% in the three Duluth precincts.

Some precincts appear twice in the House rows because they are split between districts. The incumbent markings come from the county’s consolidated sample ballot.

Every winner in these races took more than 50%, so none of them goes to the Dec. 1 runoff date on the county’s schedule.

The four ballot questions

Voters statewide approved all three proposed constitutional amendments. Gwinnett voters approved the school-tax homestead question.

Yes: 75.0% in Duluth precincts, 75.5% countywide.

The wording of each question is from the county’s sample ballot.

How Duluth voted

Most Duluth votes were cast before Election Day. Of the 22,866 votes in the Senate race in Duluth’s precincts:

• 15,371 were advance in-person votes
• 6,614 were cast on Election Day
• 881 were absentee ballots by mail

Countywide, the Senate race drew 343,835 votes. The governor’s race drew 343,946, about 56% of the 612,682 active voters in the county’s advance voting report. That share is our own calculation, and it slightly understates turnout because some voters skip a race. Our earlier story has the final early voting figures.
