I recently spent a week in Atlanta and they are die hard leftist progs. Even they said outside of Atlanta, it’s all red.


Chatham, Richmond and Clarke all went blue in governor's race.

I've never seen such a strong push for a candidate like Abrams, while I honestly can't remember much of what Kemp's campaign was about. So you had a hard push for the Dem candidate and a mediocre campaign for the Republican.

I think the Senate will be closer than people want it to be, but I think the GOP squeaks out both seats. I just hope Loeffler's seat doesn't fall to the Dems since it's in the special election.

Metro Atlanta's population may get to the point where it drives the rest of the state. I hope not, but things have been much closer in recent elections than I would have thought. It might be time to review the districts.

I lived in Atlanta for over ten years 2007-2017 and it became more and more progressive from the time I got there until we moved.

Most of it is Hollywood related and people from up north moving for work and bring their politics with them.

The other issues are young voters out of college. They all come out liberal because they either think it’s cool or they vote on emotion vs facts (not to mention their professors all being progressive).

I’d love to see some GOP candidate grow a set and work with the black communities more as I think they want to align more with republicans but need proof. That would help Atlanta stay purple while the rest of the state minus Athens and Savannah is staunch red.

This will eventually happen, and Georgia will be another Illinois. A deep red state completely controlled by the one major city in it that is deep blue.

That's Savannah, Augusta, and Athens. Add Muscogee (Columbus) and Bibb (Macon) to that list.

Basically, the cities go blue and everywhere outside them is deep red.
