A whole helluva majority of the state a lot. If you’ve ever been to the Atlanta area, it goes on forever….

California, with, what? ....five times Georgia's population, only has 58 counties. Most of Georgia's counties are sparsely populated and utterly, utterly corrupt.

… 6m of those live in the 11 county Atlanta Metro area, and more live in the several other larger cities - all pretty blue. MTG’s district 14, by contrast, also includes almost 11 counties and has a population of less than 750k. A lot of GA is pretty rural and sparsely populated. Very red, but pretty empty of people.
