GA-SD21: Georgia Democrats hope an anti-Trump mood could propel state Senate candidate to upset win in runoff
The winds of change might be blowing through Georgia.
At least, that’s what Democrats are hoping for as both parties gear up for a competitive runoff election for an open state Senate seat.
Georgia Democrats’ hopes were lifted when Democrat Debra Shigley easily secured the top spot in a seven-way race Tuesday and advanced to a runoff in a district that overwhelmingly reelected a Republican senator last year and helped send President Donald Trump back to the White House.
Shigley, who was the only Democrat in the first round of voting, is now preparing for a tougher challenge: a head-to-head race with a Republican. Her opponent will likely be Jason Dickerson, who held a narrow 65-vote edge for second place over fellow Republican Steve West as the votes were tabulated Tuesday night. West could still ask for a recount.

That's the main question. I hope so. Not confident at all. Maybe they can figure it out using basic math but even that's questionable.
