Even though it may not apply to the more outlying areas, it's a start.

(299,212 posts)8. It was a strong showing for the Democrats
It was a strong showing for the Democrats in an unusual "jungle primary" in a district that Mitt Romney won by 23 points in 2012, and where Republican Rep. Tom Price was re-elected with nearly 62% of the vote in 2016 before being named Trump's health and human services secretary.
"There is no doubt that this is already a victory for the ages," Ossoff told supporters late Tuesday night. "That no matter what the outcome is tonight -- whether we take it all or whether we fight on -- we have survived the odds. We have shattered expectations. We are changing the world. And your voices are going to ring out across this state and across this country."

Ossoff yesterday and then apparently he did some less than humanoid robocalls for whatever fascist he was pushing.
JudyM
(29,402 posts)12. Yet he tweeted "glad to have helped" or some such nonsense.
Though maybe he did help ... Ossoff.
