Georgia elected Marjorie Greene Taylor and Raphael Warnock. States aren't red or blue; it is a divisive over simplification. To paraphrase that parent comment, What would be unremarkable in San Francisco would raise eyebrows in much of the rest of California.

Georgia didn't elect Marjorie Taylor Greene. A tiny subset did. She received 230,000 votes in a rural district.

Raphael Warnock won a statewide election with 2,280,000 votes.

I've pointed this out before but after the 2016 election after the Democrats lost their dangerous gamble to put the wife of a previous president in the Whitehouse. I looked at the hyper local results.

Yeah there aren't red and blue states. There are states where either rural or city votes dominate. Both the tiny cities in Montana and the huge metro's in Texas vote blue.

To be more accurate, Georgia elected Warnock, and a particular congressional district within Georgia elected Magic The Gathering.
