Goofy, I live in the 6th and I can tell you that it has been changing for years culminating with Trump only winning by 1%. Tom Price won handily because the Democrats have had lousy candidates (in some years none at all) that got zero support from outsiders. Had the DNC, outside groups and donors given over $35M to a candidate willing to lie about what they believe as Ossoff has I can assure you that while Price would likely have still won it would not have been anywhere near his typical margin of victory. There has been a large growth of minorities and younger liberals in the district (mostly in portions of Fulton and DeKalb county in the 6th) that are traditional Democrat voters. So no, this is not some harbinger of the future or even remotely what the left wants to claim.....it is a sign of their abject desparation for a victory, any victory......
As for your opensecrets quote, I will take the slant of a liberal organization like this with a grain of salt. But it is interesting that they admit that 95% of the mony Ossoff raised came from outside the district, which I guess is appropriate given that he doesn't even live in the 6th. Outside groups are supporting Handel because of the millions pouring into his campaign from outside the district and outside the state. And despite Handel having enjoyed about $5M more in PAC support than Ossoff, his combined expenditures far exceed that spent in support of Handel. And its not even close.....
I thought I had advised you against blindly copying and pasting liberal talking points without thinking critically. You just can't help yourself despite repeated humiliations.
