Andrew S. Clyde

GA-09 enters through the Republican-held flip route at 33.6. V0.9 replaces the flat 0.70 cap with the same partial-coverage rule the Democratic route uses: 85% of the route's evidence is available, so the weighted mean of 35.7 is scaled by 0.940, moving the score +20.9. V0.10 refreshes incumbent finance from the FEC candidate summary through 2026-06-30, leaving the score unchanged.

SCORE ANATOMY

What makes the score

General-election competitiveness

0.0

The retained 2024 presidential result was R+34.1. A tied district begins at 100 and each Republican margin point subtracts four points.

Democratic primary

Not in this score

Not applicable to this Republican-held general-election route; no Democratic-primary value is imputed.

AIPAC support

Not in this score

Not used in this route because the retained candidate-level AIPAC model covers the Democratic incumbent field.

Incumbent alignment

Not in this score

Not used in this route because the retained alignment trackers cover Democratic incumbents.

Cash vulnerability

72.6

The FEC candidate summary snapshot (2026-06-30) reports $176,253 cash on hand, replacing the $176,253 release aggregate. The inverse log scale is 100 at $50,000 or less and 0 at $5 million or more.

State Democratic primary contestation

79.3

The retained 2026 state-legislative Democratic primaries in this state drew more than one candidate in enough contests to score 79.3 on a scale where a 40% contested share is 100. This is state-level organizing context, not a district measure.
