How did your legislator vote on Georgia's 'religious liberty' bill?
Almost two weeks ago, Georgia legislators passed House Bill 757, a controversial "religious liberty" measure aimed at strengthening legal protections for opponents of gay marriage.
On Monday, Gov. Nathan Deal chose to veto the bill, a move that could jeopardize his legislative agenda and shape the race for his successor.
Find below a list showing the votes of legislators from Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties -- and click here for a database showing where each of Georgia's senators and representatives landed on the bill.
NOTE: Many legislators represent parts of multiple counties. In those cases, the legislator is listed under each county he or she represents.
