The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including a quadrennial presidential election. The party primary elections were held on July 31, 2012, and the run-off on August 21, 2012. The new congressional map, drawn and passed by the Republican-controlled Georgia General Assembly, was signed into law by Governor Nathan Deal on September 7, 2011. The new district, numbered the 9th, is based in Hall County. The map also made the 12th district, then represented by Democrat John Barrow, much more favorable to Republicans.http://www.rollcall.com/issues/57_33/Race_Ratings_Georgia_New_Geography_Will_Not_Hurt_GOP-208933-1.html Race Ratings: In Georgia, New Geography Won't Hurt GOP September 22, 2011 September 29, 2011 Roll Call Joshua Miller https://web.archive.org/web/20110926195546/http://www.rollcall.com/issues/57_33/Race_Ratings_Georgia_New_Geography_Will_Not_Hurt_GOP-208933-1.html September 26, 2011 dead 2 Overview United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia, 2012http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/42277/113204/en/summary.html GA -

Broun also believes that the world is less than 9000 years old and that it was created in six literal days. In response to this, and as Broun is also on the House Science Committee, libertarian radio talk show host Neal Boortz spearheaded a campaign to run deceased biologist Charles Darwin against Broun as the Democratic candidate, with the intention of drawing attention to these comments from the scientific community and having him removed from his post on the House Science Committee.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/17/paul-broun-charles-darwin_n_1974054.html Paul Broun, Charles Darwin Face Off: Republican Faces Odd Write-In Opponent In Georgia House Race October 17, 2012 October 21, 2012 The Huffington Post Darwin received nearly 4,000 write-in votes in the election, which Broun won.http://onlineathens.com/election/2012-11-08/charles-darwin-gets-nearly-4000-write-votes-athens-against-rep-broun#.UJ0YZ4KBOLw.email Charles Darwin gets 4,000 write-in votes in Athens against Paul Broun Thompson Jim November 9, 2012 Athens Banner-Herald November 9, 2012 Endorsements Paul Broun (R) Organizations Eagle Forum2012 Candidates Endorsed By Eagle Forum PAC http://www.eagleforum.org/election/endorse-2012.html eagleforum.org 23 February 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20141013070756/http://www.eagleforum.org/election/endorse-2012.html 13 October 2014 12 February 2013 Georgia Right to Life Gun Owners of AmericaEndorsements http://www.goapvf.org/endorsements goapvf.org 2 March 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20121208084314/http://www.goapvf.org/endorsements 8 December 2012 National Right to Life Committee NRA Political Victory Fund United States Chamber of Commerce Predictions SourceRankingAs of The Cook Political ReportSafe R November 5, 2012 RothenbergSafe R November 2, 2012 Roll CallSafe R November 4, 2012 Sabato's Crystal BallSafe R November 5, 2012 NY TimesSafe R November 4, 2012RCPSafe R November 4, 2012The HillSafe R November 4, 2012 Results Georgia's 10th congressional district Paul Broun (incumbent) Republican Party (United States) 211,065 99.8 Brian Russell Brown (write-in) Independent 401 0.2 211,466 100.0 Republican Party (United States) District 11 2012 Georgia's 11th congressional district election Georgia (U.S. state) presidential no 2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia#District 11 2010 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia#District 11 2014 x150px File:PGingrey (cropped).jpg Phil Gingrey Republican Party (US) 196,968 68.5% File:3x4.svg Patrick Thompson Democratic Party (US) 90,353 31.5% 210px County results 210px Precinct results Gingrey: #E27F7F 50–60% #d75d5d 60–70% #D72F30 70–80% #C21B18 80–90%Thompson: #7996e2 50–60% #6674de 60–70% #584cde 70–80% #3933e5 80–90% #808080 No votes U.S. Representative Phil Gingrey Republican Party (US) Phil Gingrey Republican Party (US) Georgia's 11th congressional district Republican incumbent Phil Gingrey, who had represented Georgia's 11th congressional district since 2003, ran for re-election.

However, his ad campaign, where he made direct-to-camera appeals was able to paint him a conservative democrat without alienating the party's liberal base. One ad featured Barrow showing off his grandfather's revolver and his father's bolt-action rifle and recounting, "Long before I was born, my grandfather used this little Smith & Wesson here to help stop a lynching".Sean Sullivan John Barrow's one-of-a-kind ad campaign https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2012/10/25/john-barrows-one-of-a-kind-ad-campaign/ The Washington Post 26 January 2023 25 October 2012 In contrast, the Anderson campaign tried to appeal to the district's largely rural base by empathizing his background as a hay farmer.

Lee Anderson, reality is setting in for many Republican operatives. Anderson's weakness isn't the only factor in this race. Rep.
