Weird election eve question. If Zell Miller were still alive, do you think he would have endorsed Kemp, Abrams, or stayed on the sideline?

I'd bet Kemp. In addition, it would have been fascinating to hear what Zell thought of the 2016 election.

I think Zell would have endorsed Kemp too. The only thing that throws me off about Zell is his recent endorsement of Michelle Nunn in 2014, but that probably was more out of a personal connection rather than political allignment.

This election in Georgia is milestone/turning point for politics in the State. Don’t think he would have stayed on the sidelines.

Miller likely would've endorsed Kemp as well.

Indy: Massive pressure on Abrams to concede.

Seriously, you're an idiot.

Congratulations to Governor Kemp.

this race is probably gonna be responsible for future races docking the Libertarians a few points on the adjusted poll average

Hasn't Abrams polled more votes than any other Democrat in a statewide race in GA history?

 
I:6738IndyGeorgia ( 4590.47 points)November 17, 2018 09:34pm
Yes in terms of raw votes, but that's not hard in a fast-growing state.

As a technical matter, counties after Crisp County are still not showing up in the map. Interestingly, all counties show up in congressional races.

 
D:1989RBH ( 5686.17 points)November 18, 2018 03:00pm
The "All County Data Entered, Generate Map Links" link isn't on the page for the Georgia races. So I suspect that something happened early once with that feature?

 
D:1989RBH ( 5686.17 points)November 22, 2018 11:24pm
Hey IndyGA... I fixed the county entry bug. All nine-million... err... 158 counties are now on the entry form for you here.

If anybody was curious, I found that the statewides had all 158 counties through 1958, but in 1960, the map stopped at Crisp County.

So, I detached the 1959-present Georgia state shapefile, deleted it, and extended the pre-1959 shapefile (and attached that to the current map). And presto... all 158 counties are available for the statewide races.

 
I:6738IndyGeorgia ( 4590.47 points)November 22, 2018 11:32pm
That's awesome. Thanks!

Apologies for the number of counties in Georgia.

 
D:1989RBH ( 5686.17 points)November 22, 2018 11:35pm
All the cities with circular city limits kinda makes up for some of it.

158 is only 43 more than the 115 in Missouri. So it could be the 254 counties in Texas.

The Change map here really is very clearcut.

The Atlanta metro and exurbs, going so far East to connect with the Athens area swung Dem. Savannah/Columbus/Macon/Albany/Augusta (and Columbia County) swung Dem. And pretty much everything else swung Republican. Including a bunch of Northern GA counties with Kemp getting over 9000 votes and Abrams topping out around 2500. There is a bit of a difference in how fast Northern GA (around the border with TN/NC) has grown compared to Southern GA.

So, Kemp got more votes from Habersham County in NE GA than Clayton County (and only barely more votes in Clayton than Gilmer/Fannin/Union/Dawson/White)

Really true. The story of Georgia politics, like American politics, is the diverging of metro and rural areas. The blue in SW Georgia has been receding every year, but growing in the counties that are growing. Had not checked out the Change map, but it's really instructive.

By the way, RBH, do you have a quicker way of inputting these GA results (i.e. am I the only person entering these in by hand)?

 
D:1989RBH ( 5686.17 points)November 24, 2018 04:36pm
I downloaded the excel file (Detail XLS) of the results off of the ClarityElection results page and it has the county results with a tab for each race.

It's broken down by early/absentee/election day/etc but you can just delete columns and go over the totals instead.

Added Gwinnett County Commision Level Data. Feel free to correct any incorrect data. Data derived from DRA (Dave's Redistricting)

 
D:10557samir7243_ATL ( 183.06 points)August 27, 2020 08:41pm
If we wanted to add city level results for cities other than Fulton County, how would we do so?

 
R:10345Bensq1 ( 79.89 points)August 28, 2020 10:48am
I tried to do that too

 
D:10557samir7243_ATL ( 183.06 points)August 30, 2020 11:48am
@Georgia Boi, where can you find municipal level results? I've been trying to find them for some Gwinnett cities.
