Black: 34.9%
Other: 4.7%

Republican Primary in Georgia just got a little more crazy. Good for the Dems, a race to the bottom is what we need here.

Is Virginia still a majority southern baptist state ? I feel that this could be one of the most important objective marker of "southerness".

It was quite shocking when I looked at pew research and found Virginia to be 10% southern baptist, compared to 25% for Alabama. Especially when you look at this map



So apparently the hegemony of southern baptists is overstated, with bare pluralities in most parts of the map the norm.

Also looking at that map I would guess that a majority of the state lives in a Catholic or Methodist county.

What chance do you guys give John Barrows run for Georgia Secretary of state? He's moderate and the reps had to redistrict him twice to take him down and his campaign seems to be going well here's an ad of his https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze4UwtQpDw0
also his list of endorsements is ridiculously long and impressive

I'd say he has the best chance to be elected state wide of any of the georgia dems in the statewide races

The gap between D vs R will narrow. Pretty much all of the R counties are fully turned in, while a ton of very D counties still have a lot reporting (most notably De Kalb).

Yup

Stacey Evans or Stacey Abrams?

Abrams is winning with almost 73% of the vote.

relaying this news from Adam Griffin:

primary vote split is now merely 54% R, 46% D
11% of the votes are still uncounted, almost entirely from DeKalb/Fulton

But Harry Enten, Amy Walter and Limo Liar said that they can see no signs of Democratic enthusiasm in Georgia.

[Gass3268]

Which Stacey won affluent Gwinnett?

The one that won 90% of the state. Bonus data point - Abrams got the most votes there of any candidate.

Bonus data point - It looks like there could be more Democratic voters here today.

[Gass3268]

Vote differential down to 87,653 R-D

I don't even know if Cook does the ratings anymore, does Dave Wasserman do almost everything there now?
