Georgia’s 14th Congressional District has a population of 728,551, of which 468,681 were registered to vote in the 2020 general election.
Just 108,816 voters participated in the Republican primary, and fewer than 77,000 during the runoff between John Cowan and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who moved on to the general election with the support of a whopping 43,813 people.
That’s all it took for Greene — a woman who believed a laser beam from outer space started a 2018 wildfire in California — to get into Congress. That and our habit of voting for the party instead of the person.
