This speaks for itself. No leftist news rag needed.

Democrats lost a suburban Atlanta swat the GOP held for decades in GA-6 and a seat that is a mix of suburban Charlotte and rural SC. A district that move GOP 20 years ago that the Democrats heldd onto due to a long term incumbent in which the GOP gerrymandered after 2010. A district that was much closer than anyone thought.

I have seen what has happened in the past few months with open meetings. There are protesters at everyone, not even allowing the elected officials to talk. Obviously s good number of the audience is being paid to stir up trouble or they would rather raise HELL than bother to vote. Cause had they voted the GOP side would not have carried our state by such a large majority if at all. This reminds of a meeting I attended just a couple of days ago on a different subject. It had to do with plans for an activity room here in our community. Half the people attending only wanted to push for things they wanted which had nothing to do with the topic at hand that day.
I have no idea why you guys think people are paid. Even in my Conservative area, Dems outnumber republicans at these meetings, it is because we tend to email each other and make sure we go, not because some outside groups pays us to go.

Why is it that conservatives lose it and look for a conspiracy theory when they realize people think differently than them ?????

The rag the OP cited for this topic also said this about the election.
We are all Jon Ossoff. Deeply inspired by John Lewis, we crave to be part of his legacy.
Flipping the deeply red 6th Congressional District would be a historic victory.

The GOP isn't scared of its constituents. They keep winning elections.

1. Calling something a suburb of Atlanta doesnt change that the party affiliation is +8 Republican

2. Calling something a suburn of Charlotte doesnt change that the party affiliation is +9 Republican.

3. The South Carolina seat was previously held by a Republican, not a Democrat

4. Seat numbers and geography of districts change every 10 years, saying a Democrat held a district for however long is either ignorant in and of itself or willfully ignorant(purposefully lying).

Republicans are not afraid of their constituents as alleged by the OP. They, unlike Democrats, keep winning elections.

Suburban Atlanta & Suburban Charlotte prove it just this week.

I'm not arguing for a participation certificate. I'm pointing out the specifics of the district you mentioned.

Bull. Many Republicans don't like how anything is going either. Whenever I contact Rubio he won't get on the phone or return any emails. He doesn't know if I am a dem or rep.

Only a portion of SC-5 is suburban Charlotte. Not sure what a Republican winning a Republican district proves...
