Was McBath ever at risk in the first place or is this a significantly larger margin than one would normally expect here? I don't have a good understanding of CD polling.

Biden is taking Georgia by storm. It's going to be one of the major cracks in the red wall as results trickle in tomorrow. Republicans who think Trump stands a good chance of winning this election are in for a shock.

McBath won by 1% in 2018 and GA-6 went for Trump by 2% in 2016, so a double digit margin for Biden and McBath would be pretty significant.

Abrams won here by 3% and she only lost by 1% statewide. A double digit win here and in GA-07 means lights out for the GOP.

She has remained popular throughout her term and has run a good race.  It will be a rout over Handel tomorrow.

The concern will be for 2022 after redistricting.

Yeah, this seat is gone for Republicans along with the rest of the Atlanta suburbs, and with them, the state, most likely.

Do Dems have a shot at either state legislative chamber? That could be a check on Kemp and the GA GOP.

Doubt the margin, but I never thought Handel had a chance.  She has had a lot of ads though...

She can just threaten to run statewide if they gerrymander her out.

Biden is winning Georgia if he wins here by 10, there's no way around it. Even Ossoff might get to 50.01% then.

GA-6 was a district that Romney won by 25%, just so folks have a sense of how hard the northern ATL burbs have swung D under Trump. Mirrors my own political evolution too.

A quick read through Erik Erickson's twitter feed would tell you that he's nothing but a GOP hack who peddles right-wing bullsh*t while pretending to be a legitimate journalist.

Not a legitimate threat IMO, the best bet for her is HR1 passing.

GA is getting a 5th VRA district. She can always carpetbag down to South Cobb and run from there.

Or yeah a more specific and updated VRA with strict descriptions. The current VRA would require only 3 VRA seats in Atlanta, maybe after a lot of Appeals the SW GA seat too.

I used to be in GA-06 every day (my office is there, but I've been working from home since March) and my observation was that even some Republicans approved of McBath. I would have guessed she'd win by high single digits.

Think about it--this was Newt Gingrich's district.

I thought Newt represented a rural district. Is it just the same number?
