Democrats in Georgia appears to have been reduced to four House districts, three of which are in minority districts in Metro Atlanta. Blue Dogs Jim Marshall of the Eighth District and Sanford Bishop of the Second District seem to have fallen to Republicans Austin Scott and Mike Keown, respectively. Scott leads Marshall 52-48 with 92 percent of precincts reporting, while Keown leads Bishop 53-47 with 80 percent of precincts reporting.
The only white Democrat in the Georgia delegation will be John Barrow, who will have edged out Ray McKinney. It’s a significant change in a Southern state where Democrats are still competitive on the local level.
