Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

Might be a stupid question, but why is Chattahoochee County competitive when it's not a major urban center, has no colleges, and it was only 18.8% black as of the 2010 census? How did Obama win it in 2008 and barely lose it in 2012?

Someone else on discord and I were talking about this 2 weeks ago.
It's a military base county.

Turns out that's not the explanation - the explanation is even weirder: as of the 2010 census, millennials made up 59.7% of the population of the county, the highest of any county in the country.

Again military base lol- which is mostly young men.

Well, Fort Benning is mostly a training camp so of course, the demographics will be young men but it also prone to large population swings depending on the military budget. I don't think anything can really be read into it.

What is Kemp doing? He's following the same path as McCrory and we all know had that ended.

Yikes, at Houston County.

So could Houston county Flip soon.

I mean after Fayette it is the most likely semi-major county to flip to the Democrats.

The problem with Nekima Williams is that she is technically already on the ballot in November.

I also don't feel it's wise for Abrams to take the seat simply for resume purposes. It would just be a liability for her if she had to take difficult votes and would create fodder for Kemp and his allies. I think she best going around the state energizing and registering people to vote. That way she won't be labeled as a Washington insider and would instead be more in tune with the lives of everyday Georgians.

I'm starting to get the feeling that 10 years down the line the GAGOP is going to look back at this moment as their Prop 187 moment.
