Rob Woodall Wins by 433 Votes in Georgia’s 7th DistrictRollcall, Nov 21, 2018, Simone Pathé
Georgia Republican Rep. Rob Woodall barely survived his re-election against Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux, prevailing in a recount two weeks after Election Day.
Woodall led Bourdeaux by just 419 votes after the first count, which was a slim enough margin for the challenger to request a recount. The four-term congressman’s margin grew to 433 votes after Wednesday’s recount, and Bourdeaux conceded in the afternoon, shortly before The Associated Press called the race.
Woodall was significantly outraised and got a late start to his campaign, airing his first-ever TV ad the week before Election Day. Republicans fretted that he wasn’t taking his race seriously enough.
