ATLANTA -- Democrat Eric Gisler claimed an upset victory Tuesday in a special election in a historically Republican Georgia state House district.
Gisler said he was the winner of the contest, in which he was leading Republican Mack “Dutch” Guest by about 200 votes out of more than 11,000 in final unofficial returns.
Robert Sinners, a spokesperson with the secretary of state's office, said there could be a few provisional ballots left before the tally is finalized.
“I think we had the right message for the time,” Gisler told The Associated Press in a phone interview. He credited his win to Democratic enthusiasm but also said some Republicans were looking for a change.

Without Trump on the ballot, the mid-terms might be ugly. Without him on the ballot, many Republicans will stay home. I don’t like it, but it is a fact.
200 votes so basically he hasnt won yet..thats the big bombshell, 200 votes..the issue here is, that Republicans dont vote in elections unless its the midterms or presidential elections, otherwise they just dont care
drip drip drip....
If a Dem has a 2 vote lead they win. 200 votes is a lock for a Dem.
Good point. It never works the other way.
Yes Yes Yes
Trump needs to do a reset and realize what is NOT happening.
Let me read off the script: “eh, this is no big deal. Nothing to worry about”. “The Dems are stealing elections again.” “This is Republicans fault; why aren’t they getting out there and voting?” Did i miss anything?
BS
Everything is just fine eh?
The Miami mayor is a ceremonial job .
Its non partisan powerless position .
The city of miami no longer exists .
Its Xmas time folks .
did I say that?
“ 200 votes so basically he hasnt won yet..thats the big bombshell, 200 votes..the issue here is, that Republicans dont vote in elections unless its the midterms or presidential elections, otherwise they just dont care.”
That’s probably why Raul Grijalva’ evil spawn won the special election for AZ CD-7 earlier this year.
Audit the election.
Republicans also don’t vote in school board elections in sufficient numbers. Cede the boards to the Educrat union left then bitch about how the direction of the schools are going!?
No, we are learningbthat we have to come out FOR EVERY Election.
Fraud is still alive and well in Georgia.
Trump needs to JETTISON the Deep State and Neocons around him and then get back to his MAGA BASE, or he’s going to be ALL ALONE in DC next November.
And that’s exactly what will happen. The Rats will get the White House and Congress, and all we will do is bitch about it on the Internet.
You people keep failing to understand that there are many Trump voters who are not Republicans, who despise Republicans, and who only vote to vote for Trump.
