The Impact of Georgia in the 2020 Election
Georgia played a crucial role in the 2020 election, swinging towards Joe Biden for the first time since 1992. The decision came down to a razor-thin margin of just under 12,000 votes, making Georgia a battleground for disputes regarding election legitimacy. With widespread vulnerabilities of the election process being questioned, figures like Donald Trump attempted to manipulate outcomes by pressuring state officials to 'find votes'. These intense dynamics not only highlighted the contentious nature of the election but also signaled the shifting demographics of a state that many Democrats now see as a viable target for future races.
