Evans has carefully argued that in order to win, Georgia Democrats need to take back suburban districts that voted blue until the turn of the century. In 2012, 72 percent of the electorate was white, and 59 percent of white voters chose the Republican candidate. As Democrats across the country found out in 2016, white voters may only just be getting started at being Republican. But like Democrats in the ray of the country, demographic trends don’t meanmuch for Democrats until they can get over their own racial baggage. Or should they try to reach out to disenchanted independent and Republican voters with candidates whom those voters will find more amenable?
