But something is wrong.
There are no balloons, no streamers, no excited fans hugging each other.
The plates of antipasto are so untouched, they look like a display.
The help, and I'm including reporters in that, outnumber invited guests about five to one.
The only glimmer of light at this party comes from tiny candles flickering on every table.
But given the mood, those little candles are giving vigil.
— This is a party for Brad Raffensperger, who's currently the secretary of state and now running for Georgia governor, and who six years ago had a life-altering phone call with the president.
— And even when Trump amped up the insults… — They hate the state.
Raffensperger stayed calm.
That leaked phone call was one of the last moments when the world, if the world is American democracy, propped up by free and fair elections, felt like it might hold steady.
An established Southern Republican calmly telling the fired up president, no, I cannot help you find those 11,000 something votes.
And no, we do not agree that you won the state of Georgia.
Raffensperger was, to some, a hero of American democracy.
He even won reelection as Secretary of State two years after that phone call, a vote of confidence from the people of Georgia.
Now, an hour from polls closing, it seems maybe Trump was right, that not a lot of people like him.
Early results show that Raffensperger has just over 14% of the vote.
I watch the local TV reporters here awkwardly try and spin this lifeless party into an event worth covering.
Outside this room, Raffensperger has a whole new reputation as a villain, hated by people in Georgia and all over the country who think the 2020 election was stolen and that elections are routinely rigged.
A few days before the primary, his campaign reported a credible threat on his life.
A four-page manifesto that included a picture of him with the word boom scrawled over his face.
