In a leaked video of a speech given at Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman's Banquet on September 27, Broun is heard telling supporters that, "All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell." 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.{{cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/17/paul-broun-charles-darwin_n_1974054.html|title=Paul Broun, Charles Darwin Face Off: Republican Faces Odd Write-In Opponent In Georgia House Race|date=October 17, 2012|access-date=October 21, 2012|work=The Huffington Post}} Darwin received nearly 4,000 write-in votes in the election, which Broun won.{{cite web|url=http://onlineathens.com/election/2012-11-08/charles-darwin-gets-nearly-4000-write-votes-athens-against-rep-broun#.UJ0YZ4KBOLw.email|title=Charles Darwin gets 4,000 write-in votes in Athens against Paul Broun |last=Thompson|first=Jim|date=November 9, 2012|publisher=Athens Banner-Herald|access-date=November 9, 2012}}

In redistricting, Savannah was removed from Georgia's 12th congressional district and replaced with the Augusta area, thereby making the district more favorable to Republicans. The former 12th district gave 55 per cent of its vote in the 2008 presidential election to Democratic nominee, whereas only 40 per cent of the new district's voters voted for Obama. Democratic incumbent John Barrow, who has represented the 12th district since 2005, is running for re-election.{{cite web|url=http://savannahnow.com/news/2011-06-22/congressman-john-barrow-discloses-prostate-cancer|title=Congressman John Barrow discloses prostate cancer|date=June 22, 2011|access-date=June 23, 2011|work=Savannah Morning News|first=Larry|last=Peterson}}

Given the increased Republican lean of his district and that his home in Savannah had been removed, Barrow faced significant political headwinds entering the general election campaign. 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".{{cite web |author1=Sean Sullivan |title=John Barrow's one-of-a-kind ad campaign |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2012/10/25/john-barrows-one-of-a-kind-ad-campaign/ |publisher=The Washington Post |access-date=26 January 2023 |date=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. His cause wasn't helped by fact that Anderson, after stumbling in some of the GOP primary debates, has refused to share a debate stage with Barrow, a Harvard-educated lawyer.{{cite web |author1=Russ Bynum |title=12th District incumbent John Barrow courts GOP vote now critical after remap |url=https://eu.augustachronicle.com/story/news/politics/government/2012/10/21/12th-district-incumbent-john-barrow-courts-gop-vote-now/14478370007/ |website=Augusta Chronicle |publisher=Associated Press |access-date=26 January 2023}}

Anderson's performance during the campaign was criticised by political analyst Stuart Rothenberg stating that "This district is one that should have never been a headache for the GOP, but after getting a weak nominee in state Rep. Lee Anderson, reality is setting in for many Republican operatives. Anderson's weakness isn't the only factor in this race. Rep. John Barrow has run a good race with terrific TV ads meant to demonstrate his political independence and get voters to focus on him and not on his party."{{cite web |author1=Moni Basu |title=Last white House Democratic congressman in the Deep South fights for political survival |url=https://inamerica.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/02/last-white-house-democrat-in-the-deep-south-fights-for-political-survival/ |publisher=CNN |access-date=26 January 2023 |archive-date=January 26, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230126215704/https://inamerica.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/02/last-white-house-democrat-in-the-deep-south-fights-for-political-survival/ |url-status=dead }}
