State election results show Atlanta attorney Jason Carter will follow in his grandfather President Jimmy Carter’s political footsteps.
Carter captured 5,559 votes -- or 65.6 percent -- in the race for Senate District 42 in DeKalb County on Tuesday.
Fellow Democrat Tom Stubbs, also an attorney, was in second with 22.9 percent of the vote, or 1,948 votes.
Libertarian and small-business owner David Montane was in third with 7.5 percent, and independent Steve Patrick, who works for a real estate firm, brought in only 3.9 percent of the vote.
Only about 8,400 voters -- about 10 percent of DeKalb’s 82,637 active voters -- cast ballots Tuesday, county elections director Maxine Daniels said. The county has another 16,000 voters that are inactive.
District 42 includes Decatur and parts of Atlanta.
