N. DeKalb-based House districts give voters rare choice of red or blue

While Georgia's majority political party typically draws voting boundaries to ensure support for their own candidates and limit competition, two races for legislative House districts in and around Brookhaven, Chamblee and Doraville will be hard-fought in both this month's primary and the November general election.

In these districts alone, six Republicans will compete May 24 to challenge two rising-star Democrats in the fall. A lot, too, is at stake: A GOP win in either of the districts could give the party a super-majority voting bloc in the Georgia House.
