Red districts in Georgia flipped.

[MarvinGardens]

Georgia Democrats strung together improbable victories on Tuesday night, emboldening partisans who hope their strong performance is a prelude to next year’s statewide vote – and the beginning of a forceful rebuke of President Donald Trump.

Democratic newcomers flipped two state House seats in northeast Georgia considered so conservative that the party hasn’t even contested them since the lines were redrawn in 2012. And Democrats captured an Atlanta-based state Senate district long held by a Republican, breaking the GOP super-majority in the chamber.

Red state? What's a red state?

1. The two house seats in NEGA both include Athens, GA, home to UGA.

Athens-Clarke County (the smallest county east of the Mississippi River in the largest state east of the Mississippi River) is a liberal and progressive blue island in a red sea of surrounding counties.

The GA GOP gerrymandered Athens-Clarke County into multiple state and federal districts in an attempt to deny us our voice and our vote.

I am thrilled to finally have a Democratic representative in the general assembly!
