How Election in Georgia Differ in 2024
Donald Trump took Georgia by a decent margin of roughly 5% in 2016, but in 2020, he lost by a narrow .2% of the vote. Georgia’s vote in favor of Joe Biden marked the first time the state has selected a Democrat since 1992.
Meanwhile, Georgia voted Democrat in every presidential election up until 1960.
However, amid the arrival and growth of the civil rights movement, Republicans deployed something known as their “Southern strategy” in order to recruit unhappy Democrats. From 1964 to date, Georgia has voted for 10 Republican presidents, four Democrats and one Independent.
This year, Georgia, is considered a “toss up”battleground state and could be pivotal in deciding who collects a simple majority of 270 Electoral College votes. Between 2000 and 2020, Georgia voted for the winning candidate 66.7% of the time, according to Ballotpedia.
