Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Dems took the advantage in early voting yesterday.

The spike in black turnout is probably driving that.

Georgia is going blue this November.

I could definitely see it being the same as Wisconsin was to Trump. A state that's trending further to tossup status that was deemed fool's gold.

Btw, these Gwinnett County numbers are crazy-

Dem Primary: 52,776 (58.6%)
GOP Primary: 34,804 (38.7%)

If I had to guess the Gwinnett County margin today, I would have guessed Biden +20, even before seeing this stat

Is there a county anywhere in the country that is shifting R > D faster than Gwinnett? I can't think of any.

I just saw somebody on Twitter say that, so far, turnout for the GA Republican primary in Gwinnett is down 62% from 2016.

Seeing Democrats only ahead by 3.4 points in GA-7 in requested ballots given...

1) 2018 performance (Abrams +1.4)
2) general suburban ballot overperformance of 7-15 points across most suburban counties

...is not the best sign in generic terms.

However, given the very large share of Latino & Asian voters in GA-7 and the fact that they tend not to participate in normal primaries/are more likely to move & therefore miss their ballot applications for this election (*waves from Whitfield County*) isn't necessarily indicative of GE performance either. Pretty sad that my precious Whitfield County has the largest Latino electorate by percentage in this primary (5%), but of course it also has the largest Latino population percentage as well (35%).

You really just went all Dems in Disarray.

Wow.

Post-correction, PPP leads returns almost to a 10-point lead.

DEM PPP: 1,258,331 (54.97%)
GOP PPP: 1,030,892 (45.03%)
TOTAL: 2,289,223

DEM SEN: 1,181,972 (54.37%)
GOP SEN: 992,109 (45.63%)
TOTAL: 2,174,081

I wonder what the map looks like for this.

Blue Fayette is nice. Now can I have blue Forsyth by the end of the decade?

I saw a thread by BRTD which showed Forsyth county as the worst county in this country a few months ago from 12 years ago. Wow, have things have changed from 2008.

I've lived in Forsyth for over 15 years.  It's changed an amazing amount in that time.

It was featured on The Oprah Show in 1987 for not having a single black person living in the county for 75 years.

What is even happening anymore

Anyways I hope he primaries Kemp. A Perdue for Governor, Walker for Senate slate would be peak GAGOP

Why did he call him Brandon? Was it his awkward attempt at trying to take a crack at the Let's Go Brandon schtick?

Yeah, Georgia is pretty much where Virginia was a decade ago. It's only a matter of time before the Democrats take over the state.

On a slightly off topic note, did we ever figure out why KLB didn't run for reelection in Atlanta?

Cook just moved the gubernatorial race to Tossup from Lean R.

They also moved MA from Solid R to Lean D, which is laughable.

You mean, from Lean R to Tossup, surely?

Yes, that's what I said.

I wonder how the election would go in Trumpy areas if Kemp is the GOP nominee.

Those voters will turn out in droves for Herschel Walker so it will be interesting to see if they vote Kemp, or leave that part of the ballot blank.

Yeah, we'd probably see a noticeable undervote in rural Georgia.

Perdue's in: https://www.ajc.com/politics/politics-blog/breaking-david-perdue-plans-to-run-for-governor-in-2022/WRIWO2GV3ZG5ZCC6VO7B2XCI4M/

This should be a fun primary to watch.

Yep, even if it is just two boring old white guys going at each other.

Perdue is unhinged

The Republican Party is going to destroy our democracy for the sole reason of pleasing Donald Trump. I hate it here.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Even if he wins in November, I have hard time imagining him winning a second term in 2028.

This is just so embarrassing for Perdue. Imagine debasing yourself like this.

What a sad and pathetic little man.
