佐治亚州萨凡纳市：民主党人迪利赢得州众议院第161选区 818票击败七任共和党现任议员
民主党人戴维·迪利在佐治亚州众议院第161选区的选举中获胜，以818票的优势击败连任七届的共和党现任议员比尔·希钦斯，实现该地区的政治转向。根据佐治亚州务卿办公室公布的非官方结果，迪利获得51.8%的选票，希钦斯为48.2%，两人得票分别为11485票和10667票。迪利在竞选期间反对在林孔市兴建耗资200亿美元的“山茶花项目”数据中心园区，并对选区快速增长表示担忧；该议题在当地引发强烈反对，今年7月23日数百人曾在埃芬汉县学院与职业学校外集会抗议。迪利表示，他在选举之夜不断刷新州务卿办公室的选举结果页面，他认为自己需要在埃芬汉县拿到至少38%的选票才有胜算。这是民主党14年来首次拿下该席位。迪利的胜利是民主党在选举日整体攻势的一部分，据哥伦比亚广播公司报道，民主党已获得足够席位，22年来首次夺回佐治亚州众议院的控制权。
Savannah, Georgia: Democrat Dillie Wins State House District 161 by 818 Votes, Defeating Seven-Term Republican Incumbent
Democrat David Dillie won Georgia's state House District 161, defeating seven-term Republican incumbent Bill Hitchins by 818 votes and flipping the area politically. According to unofficial results from the Georgia Secretary of State's office, Dillie received 51.8% of the vote to Hitchins's 48.2%, by 11,485 votes to 10,667.
During the campaign, Dillie opposed the planned $20 billion "Camellia Project" data center campus in Rincon and raised concerns about rapid growth in the district — an issue that drew strong local opposition, with hundreds rallying outside Effingham College & Career Academy on July 23. Dillie said he refreshed the Secretary of State's results page throughout election night and believed he needed at least 38% of the vote in Effingham County to have a chance. It is the first time in 14 years that Democrats have won the seat.
Dillie's victory was part of a broader Democratic offensive on election day; according to CBS reporting, Democrats won enough seats to retake control of the Georgia House for the first time in 22 years.
