Her district seems to be most of NW Georgia, including Atlanta suburbs. The districts leans heavily Republican and pro Trump who carried the down ticket. Greene won 75% of the vote.
No clue if voters were aware she is a whack job or perhaps it did not matter given she was over the top, pro Trump.
Not the Atlanta suburbs, further west. She represents Rome and the area north. Nearer to the Alabama border.

I imagine that many people voted for her because on the ballot it says (R) next to her name and they knew nothing more about her than that.
That said, an alarmingly large percentage of people who vote Republican know all about these crazy conspiracy thoories and lap that stuff up like a baby desperate for mother's milk.

The news interviewed a couple of her constituents— and if I didn’t know any better they are a bunch of toothless, inbred rednecks... whether they disagree with her or not.
I'd say exburbs.
Red is Atlanta MSA (which is bigger than Massachusetts)
The Northernmost MSA county on the Alabama line is the southernmost county in her district. The county to the NE is hers too, but I think those are the only two in the MSA. Not saying it wouldn't be an easy commute from her district into Marietta though, and 100% not saying it's not deeply, deeply conservative
The current boundaries aren't the worst in the world, but it does conveniently leave out Bartow county (106k people, 75% R) and cuts Pickens county (30k people, 82% R) in half.
Does anybody remember the movie Deliverance?? That part of Georgia is the southern most reach of Appalachia. I have many close relatives that live in S. Appalachia so I'm allowed to make fun of it.
Good article on that district from a local newspaper back in October.
Quote:
Georgia's 14th Congressional District includes all of 11 counties -- including Whitfield and Murray -- and part of a 12th, Pickens.
Within these counties and the district there are no doubt hundreds of intelligent, successful, patriotic people who would be worthy of serving the district in Congress.
Then why is it that the last two elections for that district seat have included the following major party candidates:
• Republican Tom Graves of Ranger, who decided to turn his back on the people who elected him and quit office early in the middle of a pandemic, leaving the 14th District's Washington, D.C., office and the district offices under the supervision of the Clerk of the House of Representatives. Graves couldn't see fit to fill out the term that the residents of the 14th District granted him, resigning from Congress effective Oct. 4 of this year. Thanks to Graves, if you live in the 14th District you are currently without representation in the U.S. House of Representatives.
• Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is an advocate for QAnon, a discredited conspiracy theory that has been labeled a potential domestic terrorism threat by the FBI, and who has "hours of Facebook videos" that Politico said show her expressing "racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic views." Greene is expected to be the next member of the House of Representatives from the 14th District. She moved into the 14th District because it would be an easier place for her to run for Congress than the 6th District. She lived in the Metro Atlanta area for most of the past two decades, and originally announced last year her intention to run for the Republican nomination for the 6th District, which consists of Atlanta's northern suburbs and is represented by Democrat Lucy McBath.
