In Georgia, voters are heading to the polls today for the state’s primary elections. In the governor’s race, former state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams is facing off against former state Representative Stacey Evans. If Abrams wins today and then in November, she will become the nation’s first African-American female governor. African-American activist Lucy McBath, the mother of Jordan Davis, is also running for a congressional seat to represent Atlanta’s northern suburbs. In 2012, McBath’s 17-year-old son, Jordan Davis, was shot and killed by a middle-aged white man in a dispute over loud music, sparking nationwide protests.
