hope o're able to see the article at the link. I subscribe to the Atlanta Journal so I have a free access to the digital copy. There is a startling image comparison between the the Dem vs Pub votes in the Con election & the primary election which Ossoff won. I'd love for you to see it. ( tried to copy/paste but couldn't)

Here are a few clips if you can't access the link.

Residents are coming to terms with the notion that their turf is suddenly competitive: A 30-year-old first-time candidate outpolled Republicans in areas so conservative that Democrats often don’t even bother to enter local elections.

Tony Rainieri runs a barbershop in the edge of a Johns Creek precinct that Trump easily won in November but that Ossoff carried five months later. Swiveling in his cushy barber’s chair, Rainieri said voters are worked up over the election.

“I vote for my pocketbook — and I cut Steve Handel’s hair,” he chuckles, waving to a spot on a wall where a picture of the candidate’s spouse sometimes hangs. “But I’m not stupid. I see how the younger generation has swung. It’s going to be so dang close.”

“It’s a referendum on Trump, and I want to send a signal that we’re upset,” says Parker. “I don’t like what he stands for or what he says.”

Parker, who works in finance in Alpharetta and lives in a Roswell precinct that backed Ossoff, rarely votes in special elections and won’t be seen waving yard signs on street corners or going door-to-door for the Democrat. Her teenage daughter pulled her into the race after a chance encounter with Ossoff at a high school rally.

“This will say that we want something different than Trump,” Parker says. “And these Republican areas, they’re not as safe for him anymore.”
