Analysis: When organizers with the New Georgia Project were deciding where to direct their energies in the final weeks before the midterm elections, they chose to focus their get-out-the-vote efforts on a single county in Atlanta’s southern suburbs.

In Forsyth County in Atlanta’s northern suburbs, in contrast, nearly 55 percent of residents 25 and older have bachelor’s degrees. Forsyth County is trending Democratic, too, but it’s still Republican territory. Walker won it in November with 65 percent of the vote.
