ATLANTA A Democrat is declaring victory in Georgia's 7th Congressional District primary after new vote counts showed her winning a majority of ballots without need for a runoff election. Carolyn Bourdeaux, who was the Democratic nominee in 2018, claimed victory Monday over five Democratic opponents. A university professor, Bourdeaux fell fewer than 500 votes short of defeating incumbent Republican Rob Woodall in the suburban Atlanta district in 2018. More Democrats than Republicans turned out in the primary elections in the district, which Bourdeaux says is a sign of gathering Democratic strength in a district that was once a Republican stronghold. Bourdeaux was receiving 46.2% of the vote at the time, with 92% of precincts reporting.
