With primary season underway and a record number of women on ballots nationwide, the question now is how many will make it to office after elections in November. The reality is that many of the women running face long odds.

House Republicans have doubled the number of female candidates they have recruited to run for congressional seats this year as they seek to hold their majority and counter accusations of a gender gap with Democrats.

Just 35 women filed for one of the 125 Oklahoma legislative seats that were up for election in 2012.

The historic wave of women running for Congress and governor this year already has landed 78 women on November ballots in several states.

Is this the year of the woman in Georgia politics?

Based on the results of the May 22 primary election, including the local races, it may be.
