GA-06 hasn't had a Democratic rep in almost forty years.

I'd be more disappointed about SC-05, where it was a close finish with little resources dedicated. If some of the GA-06 millions had been spent there, it might've been a win.

I wouldn't be at all disappointed with the fact that both districts went Trump by 20 points, and were quite close less than a year later.




GA 6 was not won by 20 points by Trump. He won it by just over 1. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/everything-you-need-to-...


Sorry, you're right. I thought I remembered there being two special elections with the big swing, but GA-06 must not be it. Maybe it was the Montana one.


When I say disappointed, I mean that they played up it's importance to a point where any result less than winning is a little embarrassing.
