I get that and I already looked it up. See above.@Sommerswerd The point isn't about flipping any district, the point is that the R vote in MTG's district depressed enough to flip the result of the statewide election from R to D.
Again, I am awaiting evidence of this assertion.
You can compare the towns in MTGs district (14th) below to the Senate maps I already posted. If anything, they got more red from 2020 to 2022.

More importantly, the 2020 election, where Warnock (D) first won, had 749,422 more votes cast total than 2016... so way higher turnout overall. Also, Loeffler's (R) runoff total in 2020 was 2,195,841, which was higher than Isackson's (R) winning total of 2,135,806 in 2016. So decreased Republican turnout in 2020 was not the reason for the loss of the seat. Also, Warnock (D) and Walker (R) both got significantly less votes in 2022 than the Democrat (Warnock) and Republican (Loeffler) got in the prior race respectively, both in the first round and even less in the runoff, so to the extent that there was decreased Republican turnout in 2022, it was matched by decreased Democratic turnout. it was just a lower turnout election overall.
Based on all that, I'm not convinced that Republicans in MTG's district being turned off by her made the difference in the GA Senate race.
