By the numbers: See just how well Democrats performed in Georgia this year

Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight just completed a deep dive into the turnout and results of the June 9 primary in the Peach State. Good news, Georgia! Democrats are in a strong position going into November’s general election. The Fair Fight memo highlights the staggering results of Democratic performance this year. Here are the facts:  Democrats outvoted Republicans 1,283,836 to 1,033,308.  Of the 750,000 first-time voters, 59.3% voted as Democrats and 35.9% as Republicans.  Moreso, 49%

Trump’s Atlanta visit sets stage for Democratic debate

On November 8, Trump came to Atlanta in an attempt to bolster his support among black voters. It is estimated that “a few hundred” supporters showed up which means turnout to the free event was roughly on par with the $2,800 per person luncheon earlier that day, an event which preceded a $100,000 per person roundtable with the president.

Cagle and Ga. conservatives deny man-made climate change

In every other country, climate change is a reality, not a partisan issue up for debate — even for conservatives. Hard to believe? Listen to these conservatives from across the world who agree that climate change is a real, man-made problem
