Democratic nominee Joe Biden won the primary in Georgia on Tuesday, as the state’s new electronic voting machines caused confusion and long lines, particularly in the Atlanta area.

Biden, who also won the West Virginia primary on Tuesday, had amassed enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination by last Friday, but several states still hadn’t held contests, which had been delayed because of the coronavirus epidemic.
