Notes:
--Since the results for the Atlanta Mayor race are (currently) within 1% of the total vote, I imagine Norwood will request a recount. Stay tuned.
--Simone Bell is the first openly gay African American female in the country to ever be elected to a state legislature.
--Alex Wan is the first open gay man and first Asian American to ever be elected to the Atlanta City Council.
