Northwest Georgia voters take the first step in finding Greene's successor

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) Georgians will decide Tuesday the first of what could be five elections this year to replace U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

But the chaotic all-party special election in northwest Georgia is about more than who fills a deep-red House seat. It’s also an early test of Republican power, Democratic enthusiasm and President Donald Trump’s grip on the GOP.

Seventeen candidates qualified in the free-for-all 14th Congressional District contest — 12 Republicans, three Democrats, one Libertarian and one independent. The top two vote-getters advance to an April runoff in a district drawn for Republicans to dominate.

I can't imagine though that there is any hope of flipping the seat.
