(6,668 posts)1. She won it by 30 points in 2024
Closer than that? Sure. Competitive? Highly unlikely.

...Georgia's been gerrymandered to the point it's unlikely a Democrat can run a competitive race against any Republican in a U.S. House district. Statewide races are very much turnout dependent, and shenanigans like the lack of machines in Democratic areas and bomb threats that were called in during the 2024 election will occur again.

that racist district. But, who knows situation in 11 months?

It was either in that district, or the one next to it
