Population:

Cobb County, Gwinnett County, and Fayette County are around Atlanta, all are among the fastest growing counties in the nations during the past few years - though now Paulding (west of Cobb) is growing faster as people move further from Atlanta problems.

Atlanta itself sprawls across the south half of Fulton and west half of DeKalb Counties. McKinney's district is mostly in DeKalb County, mostly to the east of Fulton County - and is gerrymandered almost all the way to the ocean to get black voters in Savannah and that region.

North Fulton county is NOT Atlanta, is strongly conservative, though with a lot of extremist liberals sprinkled everywhere.

Metro Area = 4,708,000

City of Atlanta = 419,000

Fulton County = 915,000

Cobb County = 663,000

Gwinnette County = 726,000

DeKalb County = 678,000

Fayette county = 191,000

I am very familiar with the greater atlanta area.

So in Gwinnett County, 31,068 of the 726,000 citizens, or about 4.2% (inclusive, of course), voted for the FairTax. In Cobb County it was about 5% and in Fayette County it was about the same.

Whoopee! We've got to get these results personally handed to President Bush!

These "non-binding" (duh) resolutions on primary ballots are worthless. They don't tell you a damned thing.
