Georgia state house elections left the state's 14 congressional districts unchanged on Tuesday, even as Democrats won enough seats nationally to secure a House majority. Sanford Bishop secured another term in southwest Georgia's 2nd Congressional District when his race was called at 7:59 p.m.
Georgia's 14-seat delegation
The called all 14 races across Georgia between Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning. That sequence left the state's 14-seat delegation divided along the same party lines that existed before the election, with Georgia voters not shifting the balance in the U.S. House.
Hank Johnson held his metro-Atlanta seat in District 4, Nikema Williams held District 5, and Lucy McBath held District 6. Rich McCormick won District 7, while Brian Jack held District 3.
Coastal 1st District call
Jim Kingston defeated Amanda Hollowell in the coastal 1st District after the race was called early Wednesday at 12:14 a.m. That call completed the set of Georgia races that were decided during the overnight count.
The statewide picture stayed stable even as control of the U.S. House changed nationally. Georgia kept its 14 congressional districts in the same partisan balance, so the statewide result added no new shift inside the delegation itself.
Georgia totals pending
Officials had not yet released final statewide turnout totals or certified vote tallies across the 14 districts. Until those figures are released, the called races stand as the operating result for Georgia voters, and the delegation remains split as it was after the calls were made.
