Pusher of PixelsIf you need a ray of sunshine and hope...this is it.
This MTG's former Georgia district special election. This district is DEEP RED. She routinely won by 4-1 margins.

@cwdolunt yeah it's been called for the GOP but still. This is a +60 R district reliably. Trump apparently managed +35 or so.
a -30 swing is catastrophic for GOP control of even the Senate.
Edit: the +60 was actually +50 and that was prior to the 2021 redraw. Still a solid +30 R normally.

Yes. I don't understand why this hasn't received more publicity. I agree it's a BIG blue road sign to sanity.

@milkman I assume the election is today. I've called on people to basically ignore this given the 4-1 normal election margin.
The first guy who ran against MTG raised something like 15 MILLION dollars....and lost by 65 pts. And promptly disappeared.
This puts things in an entirely different universe of possibilities in November and I suspect you'll start seeing more of this should the Dem win and even if it's just close.
The reason you might not is the utter uselessness of modern major media outlets not wanting to rock the boat against being sued by Trump.
