I live in the 6th and already voted early at our beautiful new library branch.
This district is very white, educated and affluent. Many of us moved here in the last twenty years from colder climates because of corporate transfers or to be near children or grandchildren. It is a wonderful place to live.
I am one of the many praying for change and back Ossoff.
So, not content to live in the place you probably ruined by electing liberals, you have now moved to Georgia to ruin it by electing liberals.
I have never understood why some one from a 'cold climate' - which reads much higher taxes, government regulation and underfunded public pensions, courtesy of Democrats - would move to a low tax, lower regulation, well-run county and state; only to vote in the very party that made your old abode so untenable.
I'm sure there is an explanation, but it escapes me.

Yeah, I got the weather and the grandkids, but that is only part of the quality of life, in Georgia or most other sunbelt states. Governance can gobble up all of the cookies, making life difficult. Look at the tax situation, public pension underfunding in most if not all of those cold climate states. A lot of lifestyle being sucked out of citizen's bank accounts.
Why on earth would one candidate get 97% of his campaign donations from outside of his state? That is Jon Ossoff. Whose candidate is he, really? Not his district's, for sure.

No, actually we were moved from the Boston area ten almost years ago by Husband's telecom company because Georgia didn't have the tech workforce needed. Two kids in college, no brainer move.
I left my teaching job feeling like I was being exiled. But we love it here, kept the house up there and will probably go back to be closer to grandchildren, better healthcare and lovely autumns.
Love southerners, just not the schools and politics.

From the number of daily mailings I get, the money is coming from outside conservative pacs.
Most just anti-Ossoff. very few backing a single Rep. candidate. Except Karen Handel----remember her? (Hint: Susan Komen foundation)

Do you live here and get the local advertising?
This morning I was at my local library, line out the door for early voting.

The explanation is that you are wrong.
Pension funds being underfunded isnt a cold climate thing. Wisconsin technically has the most well funded, and Kentucky and Illinois share the title of the worst.
Government regulation is catch all that most people never go into detail about. When you and others are willing to , we can discuss it.
Same goes for taxes. If you live in the South, Sales tax will kill you. On groceries alone, you yearly pay 1000 dollars more than people who live in states that dont tax it. Think about that across all goods.
