The city and (most) of the suburbs are very blue. Atlanta itself is rated as one of the most LGBT-friendly cities in the country [1].

Unfortunately, the state is still red due to the population living outside of the MSA. The city and the suburbs are resoundingly blue, though [2].

The governor pulled some very shady voter suppression tactics in the last election. [3, 4] They're afraid, and they know their time is short.

We need more blue voters. We're close to turning the state, and that would be a huge victory.
