And the formerly conservative Atlanta burbs and super burbs have changed drastically in the past 20 years.

Is that due to the amount of new people moving in from elsewhere or did the locals change their political views ?

Georgia law says it's a person:

"A person commits the offense of feticide if he or she willfully and without legal justification causes the death of an unborn child by any injury to the mother of such child, which would be murder if it resulted in the death of such mother, or if he or she, when in the commission of a felony, causes the death of an unborn child.

Under Georgia law, an unborn child means a member of the species homo sapiens at any stage of development who is carried in the womb."

But there's another Georgia law that says the opposite. Says abortion legal up until heartbeat. Lots of legalese but that's the gist. Was held up in court until Roe overturned. Now law of the state. Liberals big mad about it. But it's basically a statutory right to abortion, up to a certain point. All depends on how you spin it. Herschel needs the Karens. Framing the Heartbeat bill as a protection for the "right" to an abortion is a smart political move. If you can't see it, you are not intelligent.

Primarily new folks moving in/children of hippies getting older. But the biggest thing is, as more young/white/liberal folks - either homegrown or transplants - move into Atlanta proper, you are seeing more and more of the lower income inner city liberal get displaced outward into the suburbs, which then drives conservative white flight further out into the exurbs.

20, 30, 40 years ago the inner city element was displacing into Dekalb, parts of south Fulton, and Clayton counties. Conservative whites were then moving into Gwinnett, Cobb, and Douglas. Now that the inner city liberals have been pushed further out by gentrification in Atlanta proper and the near in suburbs, Gwinnett, south Cobb, Rockdale, Henry, are turning darker/bluer and the conservative white flight is going further out to Jackson, Cherokee, Paulding, Coweta, etc.

No way José. Metro Atlanta, where half the state's population lives, will go Warnock by about an 80-85% cut. There's no way he'll make up enough ground in the state's other 150 counties to win election to the senate.
