Fulton County, anchored by Atlanta, as well as surrounding Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Henry, and Forsyth counties, provided the nexus of Democratic strength in the runoffs.

In Fulton County, Democrats romped during this election cycle — Biden beat Trump countywide 73% to 26%, banking a nearly 243,000-vote margin on his way to winning the state by about 12,000 votes.

DeKalb and Clayton, with their large middle-class Black populations, have become growing Democratic bulwarks in statewide elections and gave both Ossoff and Warnock well over 80% of the vote in the runoffs.

However, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Henry counties, longtime Republican strongholds, and Forsyth County, which is still conservative, have undergone some of the most dramatic electoral changes in the entire state.

McConnel blew it, Trump gave him the Senate on a silver platter by saying he wanted $2,000. But McConnel was blinded by stupidity and lost his majority because of it.

It was the overt fraud in Fulton county that elected them . If the dopey Republicans had not signed a consent agreement and did a forensic analysis of the signatures as the law originally allowed, these two communists would be heading to Hollywood and New York.

I lived in Forsyth County for 16 years before we moved to Spain and I could never imagine it not being conservative. But then again I lived in New Hampshire for 15 years before we moved to Forsyth County and I could never imagine that not being Conservative either.
