WASHINGTON —

| 2, 1, 0 | Widely covered | 6–7 outlets (2) · 8–10 outlets (1) · 11–13 outlets (0) |
Provisional: Outlets other than AP were checked through Google News headlines only, not each outlet's own site search, and the NBC News, CBS News and Bloomberg articles were counted from their headlines without opening them. A single search engine can miss articles, so this score may go down on recheck.
Depth

L1What happened
The call: AP race-call headline, "Democrat Keisha Bottoms wins election for governor in Georgia". AP: "Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms won election Tuesday as governor of Georgia, defeating Republican Rick Jackson." "The Associated Press declared Bottoms the winner at 9:24 p.m. EST." Unofficial.
