Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux conceded her bid for Georgia’s Seventh Congressional District on Wednesday against incumbent Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Ga.).

Bourdeaux announced her concession in a post on Twitter late Wednesday afternoon.

"We have come to the end of the road in this particular campaign. I congratulate @RepRobWoodall on his victory & wish him all the best in his work to represent #GA07," she wrote. "While this election might not have gone the way we wanted, we have achieved an incredible amount."

Democrats had eyed the district as having the potential to flip from red to blue, but Woodall ultimately beat out his challengers, keeping the House seat in GOP control.

2. She lost by only 419 votes.

Maybe in 2020 it will flip!

3. Another stolen GOPee seat

The provisionals from GOPee-heavy Forsyth County were "accidentally" counted without regard to all those little typos that keep Brian KKKemp up at night.

But those from the neighboring, Dem-leaning Gwinett County were summarily thrown out for even the slightest issue.

Woodall won by 400 votes.
