Donald Trump Wins Georgia

Former President Donald Trump has won the state of Georgia by more than one hundred thousand votes.

The Associated Press called the race for Trump in the early hours of Wednesday morning, with Trump receiving 2,640,803 votes compared to Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2,513,864 votes.

President Joe Biden won the state in 2020 by 11,779 votes or 0.23 percent.

Trump saw his biggest leads in Cherokee, Forsyth, Hall, and Paulding counties, while Harris saw large turnout from Fulton and DeKalb counties.

Election data expert Mark Davis tells The Federalist that Trump’s victory is the result of a combination of factors.

“Trump’s Georgia victory is also a victory for the election integrity movement, and we have a long list of people to thank for that, especially in the General Assembly,” Davis said. “But we cannot and will not rest. We have more to do to ensure free and fair elections Georgia voters can have confidence in.”

The comeback comes despite Democrats’ last-minute election shenanigans and lawfare efforts against the State Election Board (SEB), which passed a series of rules aimed at ensuring accurate election results.

The Georgia Supreme Court stepped in on Monday after a judge ruled that Democrat-run Cobb County must accept thousands of absentee ballots that were slated to arrive after Election Day.

Cobb County was also one of four Democrat-led counties, alongside Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett counties, that extended their in-person drop-off hours for absentee ballots this weekend without having directly informed Republican leaders. Republican leaders told The Federalist that, in the absence proper notification, the drop-off sites were unstaffed for hours.

All eyes have been on Georgia’s election administration since the glaring irregularities seen in 2020, including in Fulton County. Four years after the election, the SEB found that the county broke the law during the election when it double-scanned more than 3,000 ballots twice during the recount.

Democrats’ lawfare also killed a series of rules passed by the SEB that were meant to ensure accuracy. One such rule would have ensured the number of physical ballots counted matched the machine count total at the precinct level on Election Day.
