Congresswoman Young Kim proves that Republicans can win in diverse affluent areas after an incumbent retires.

Oh right! I remember when the media ignored her win as the first Korean-American congresswoman just because she's a Republican.

It's really interesting that in Forsyth, it looks to be Democrats adding to the mix as the county grows and Republican numbers still go up, while in Gwinnett, you have an absolute decline in Republican numbers because the county is built out.

Although maybe Gwinnett isn't built out since it added another 120,000 since 2010.
