11 seats: 8R, 3D R 53 
Elimination of two black-majority districts in 1996 � due to a Supreme Court
ruling against race-conscious districting � did not cause the defeat of their
black incumbents, but neither did it help white Democratic challengers in
surrounding districts. Even though all elections were won by more than 10% in
1998, at least three districts could be competitive in 2000. (NOTES: Due
to a new, court-ordered redistricting plan, incumbents in districts 4 and 11
exchanged districts in the 1996 election. In addition, Nathan Deal changed
parties in 1995.)
