That’s like trying to add Staten Island and Long Island population to New York City population.
Only thing is Staten Island and Long Island usually vote red, the opposite of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx etc.

Nope. Nassau County on Lawn Guyland where I grew up hasn’t voted GOP since 1988. Suffolk County is purple - no GOP wins from 1988 to 2012 and very narrow Trump wins in 2016 and 2020. Local GOP are RINOs whose main issues are “law and order” (ie more bennies for the police unions) and “local control of schools” (or sky high property taxes).

It’s a bit different for Atlanta and the city is smaller geographically and less dense so the surrounding cities and counties truly extend out of the city, where the five boroughs are a true entity onto themselves - sad thing is since Grumman closed years ago Lawn Guyland doesn’t have much of an economy of its own other than the bloated local schools and governments that five figure property taxes bring with it.
