Norwood must have really underperformed in the East Atlanta neigborhoods. The fact that Atlanta got "whiter" and the result is still largely similar means that she performed poorer among whites this election than she did in 2009 which is surprising. Just goes to show you how strong the "Blue Wave" in the country is right now. She was associated with Trump among much of the voting base and that probably hurt her a lot. The fact that she didn't denounce Trump gave her opponent the ability to use that against her and right now, Liberals and Democrats hate Trump.

KLB was more beatable than Reed, yet it doesn't look like she'll pull it off again.

Wow. Noorwood wanted to be mayor so bad. I feel bad for her to lose by that small a margin again

I thought she was going to win with the lower voter turnout to her and having ads on the tv and radio allday. Wow

For some reason it reminds me of Hillary running for president. Close race with Obama(would have most likely beaten McCain) and close race with Trump(Less than 100k vote difference in 3 swing states).

I can't stand Trump, but anyone who used that as the primary determinant in who to vote for was clueless.
