Take Action Georgia
Presidential Election
While there is no U.S. Senate race and no U.S. Congressional races to focus on at present, Georgia remains a key state in the 2024 Presidential election. In 2020, President Biden defeated Donald Trump in Georgia by nearly 12,000 votes – an important win on his path to the White House. Georgia’s 16 electoral votes – one of the top 10 states in the Electoral College – could play a significant part again this year. [Read More Below]

Georgia’s political landscape has been shifting since the start of the 21st Century. Population growth in the state has occurred in the diverse Atlanta Metro area, which has seen an influx of African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and progressive Whites.
The split between non-Latino white and people of color/Latinos in the state of Georgia is nearly 50-50. This means that turnout of Black and Latino voters is as vital now as it was in 2020. Volunteer Blue organizations are focusing on voter registration and turnout in those critical communities.
A new law passed by the Republican-dominated state legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp loosens requirements for political parties to challenge voters. Opponents to the law say this could overwhelm election administrators and disenfranchise eligible voters, having a serious and negative impact on the upcoming elections.
