    I did not expect all this progressive news from Georgia. I have to stop giving that state so much shit apparently. Way to go Georgia.

    Let's be clear here, while this is great, it's not a flipped seat. Dekalb county is a long time Blue stronghold in East Atlanta.

    Dekalb county is a long time Blue stronghold in East Atlanta.

    Technically, "East Atlanta" is inside Dekalb County, not the other way around. It's the name of a specific neighborhood, not a generic term for the eastern part of the city.

    I was not aware of that. I'm just an old engineer that spent most of his Atlanta time in midtown. Go Jackets.
