State opens investigation into issues with 6th District race

ATLANTA - The top two candidates in the 6th Congressional District are already strategizing for a runoff.

After a late night Tuesday, Democrat Jon Ossoff grabbed 48 percent of the vote, while Republican Karen Handel got 20 percent.

Elections officials said a rare problem in Fulton County delayed the results.

Channel 2 investigative reporter Aaron Diamant questioned the top state elections official about the error.

"It didn't make me feel good. It's very disappointing and I'm sure Fulton County is disappointed as well," Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp told Diamant.

Kemp confirmed Wednesday that his office is now investigating the Election Day glitch that delayed Fulton County's ability to report results in the high-profile race
