Tuesday turnout in Hall among tops in state

ATLANTA - Forsyth, Hall and Gwinnett counties recorded three of the highest voter turnouts in the state in Tuesday's elections.

The turnout in Forsyth was 85%. It was 81% in both Hall and Gwinnett.

Meanwhile, the final numbers aren't in, but it appears Georgians set a turnout record for Tuesday's election. Secretary of State Cathy Cox had been predicting that 77% of the state's eligible voters would go to the polls. Cox's office said Wednesday more than 3 million Georgians voted, breaking the record set in 2000.
