Southern white Democratic congressmen. Now extinct.

Or were the races EVEN close because of the media coverage?

I’m guessing Georgia is a rematch in 2022

I’m sure it had something to do with it. I wish we had a more informed electorate in general but sadly we do not. It shows in some voting patterns and both the left and right benefit from these types so it’s not a one-sided thing.

That has nothing to do with the Democratic Party though, it has to do with Republicans voting them out in conservative districts.

I’m just not understanding why those areas went so blue. It’s almost entirely white and older people as is the Gwinnett district

Oh no, lots of younger liberal yuppies in these districts too. Some major employment centers in northern metro ATL.

Gwinnett county is a big county & diverse.

I lived in the Buford/Suwanee and it wasn't very old at all.

Gwinnett county is the biggest school district in Georgia which suggests that there are lots of families.
