  1. Forsyth County, Ga has only reported early voting tallies so far (and they may not be representative, though it's been within about 3% of the totals in the last 3 elections).

    In the 2024 General, Trump got ~65% of the vote. The only other county wide Republican office was the 7th District US House Seat (Rick McCormick) who won with 70% of the vote.

    Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson are only getting 57% of the vote in the county right now.

    Obviously, this could change once election day votes are tallied.

    (First batch of election day votes came in as a wrote this and Echols and Fitz Johnson are trending down with both into 56% with 66% of precincts reporting.)

    edit: Total turnout was sub 20%.

    I had good friends who took part in the 1987 marches there. They were pelted with rocks and beer cans by white teenagers. Oprah did a show from there. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987_F

  4. Forsyth County was going to allow the development of a decent little mixed use area with Apartments and Town homes, and a bit of retail (that could have served the local area) that was within walking distance of an elementary school and a 10 minute (and safe) bike over to a grocery store and more retail. There is even a day care near by.

    Looks like it would have been a great little area to live if you were a brand new teacher.

    It's exactly the type of development that Forsyth really needs.

    Well the local "No apartments ever" crowd has killed it. It's now just another HOA neighborhood with single family homes and some town houses that will be too damn expensive.

    An elementary school principal (with review by the BOE) decided to send home a letter apologizing because a guest speaker mentioned that someone involved in the the topic he was speaking about was gay.

    Just shockingly spineless.
