Area Voters Go Red
By now the results of the January 5 runoff election for two Georgia Senate seats are well known. While Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff edged out Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue statewide, area voting went red instead.
In a less high profile contest, incumbent Public Service Commissioner Lauren “Bubba” McDonald, a Republican, won reelection in a race with Daniel Blackman, a Democrat.
