He probably is elected from one of those ‘safe’ districts created when the Dems were in charge in the Georgia legislature. They did the same in Florida as well. They created these Minority Districts so that they would have a ‘lock’ on those votes, and it would remain in Democrat hands permanently. But what they did not take into consideration was that in order to create these Minority Districts, they had to rob (D) voters from other nearby districts, making them less prone to vote (D) in the future. They also failed to take into account that they might not be in power after the next election, because they had been in power in these states for many decades since Reconstruction was over.

So when the Republicans finally came to power and redistricting was their responsibility, they kept these Minority Districts intact, for obvious reasons, like being called ‘RACIST’ for getting rid of them and electing people like Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) just being a prime example of the other.

Now the Dems are stuck with them permanently and can’t get rid of them on their watch, nor persuade the Republicans to do it either..............

Most definitely. His constituents only care that he is black and he works to keep their property tax bills from becoming delinquent. Just like all the Atlanta politicians do.
