Demographic shift rolling along
MARIETTA, Ga. — The demographic and political realignment of Cobb County continued on Tuesday with three major offices changing hands from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party.
Each of the three Democratic office-winners are Black -- which represents a historic change for the previously largely white and conservative suburban county.
As with other suburban areas around the nation, Cobb County has experienced a significant demographic shift over the past 20 years.
Cobb County is directly northwest of Atlanta and Fulton County. As of 2019, the US Census Bureau estimated its population at 760,141, making it the state's third-most populous county, behind Fulton and Gwinnett counties.
Historically, voters in Cobb County have skewed toward the conservative side, as evidenced by their vote in past election cycles. However, the overall numbers have tended to shift from "red" to "blue" over the most recent election cycles, with the county voting for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
In the 2018 gubernatorial race, Cobb County voters overwhelmingly voted for Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.
