The Biden votes coming in from GA tonight are from John Lewis' district

"Fulton County and parts of the other counties, that's John Lewis' District that's coming in. There's something about that. The 2020 election in Georgia is coming down to how the folks whom John represented in the Congress voted. There is poetry." - Historian Jon Meacham on MSNBC.

Throughout this campaign season there have been signs all over metro Atlanta with images of and quotes from John Lewis. A big reason so many of us are so strongly motivated here is to honor his legacy.

Waiting for John Lewis’s district and John McCain’s state to help send him packing.

It would be great if those votes pushed the one state remaining that I expect to be a rubber stamp for Dumdum over to the left.

Kemp's head will explode.

Stacey Abrams will start to get the respect she deserves.

The district that a legend in Civil Rights, Congress and general decent humanity pushes the man who got the most votes in presidential history over the top.

Can I say that? John Lewis’s district putting Biden over the top in Georgia would be a script that writes itself.

Go Joe. Thanks, Atlanta.
