Save for local and Congress- The race in the state of Georgia is the presidential election with 16 electoral votes. According to the RealClearPolitics averageTrump leads Kamala Harris 49.4 percent to 47.7 percent, a margin of 1.7 percent. Decision Desk HQ gives Trump one 63 percent chance to win the state. Cook’s Political Report rates the presidential race a “toss up.”
After spending time in Floyd and Forsyth counties supporting the Republican Party’s vote-gathering efforts and covering the Trump/Fox News Faulkner Focus town hall event, the mood on the ground contradicts the moderate sentiment the survey. This also applies to the Trump rallies and town halls. From the first rally of the year in Rome in March 2024 to Sunday’s Macon event, the turnout, enthusiasm and excitement were huge.
This also applies to early voting, which took place from October 15th to November 1st. By previous standards, voter turnout was high enormously successful.
The number of voters in Georgia topped 4 million on Friday, completing the final day of early voting. So far, 4,004,588 voters have cast their votes either early or by postal vote. With a voter turnout of 55.3%, Georgians cast 3,761,968 ballots in early voting and 242,620 absentee ballots.
As of Saturday morning, voter turnout was over 50% in 92 Georgia counties. This is unprecedented in Georgia’s history.
Of course, as RedState has reported here , here and here , there is mischief afoot in Democratic-controlled Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Chatham, Clayton and Athens-Clarke counties. Here’s the difference: Unlike 2020, Georgia has tightened its election laws, and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger appears to be okay with actually protecting the vote. It’s also a up-to-date RNC, and they’ve increased their election integrity a thousand-fold. While the DNC undoubtedly has more tricks up its sleeve, it is doubtful that it is capable of reaching the level of phony water leaks and truckloads of ballots in the middle of the night.
The joker in this election: the black vote. Elder statesman and de facto leader of the black community Michael “Killer Mike” Render rejected Supporting Biden for president when he was still at the top of the ticket. Since Biden was replaced by Vice President and Democratic nominee-elect Kamala Harris, Render has remained mute on the radio and has not endorsed her candidacy. Instead, Render has chosen to make it clear to the community that their power lies in voting for local candidates and causes.

Georgia has the largest black population, 33 percent versus 14 percent nationally, and the “Chocolate City” of Atlanta has been central to the Democratic coalition in the state. But Trump has made gains in the black community, particularly among black men, much to the dismay of the population Legacy Media.
Future historians will therefore be puzzled by the fact that Trump has increased his support among African Americans since his election as president in 2016. No stern person expects Trump to win anywhere near a majority of black voters in this year’s election. But months of polling — from a variety of different pollsters — predict that Trump will significantly escalate his share among these voters in particular adolescent black men. In one current survey Among black voters, 58 percent of black men said they would support Vice President Kamala Harris if the election were held today, and 26 percent said they would vote for Trump — a percentage that would be representative record-breaking Support for a Republican candidate.
Other forms of evidence –Shoe Leather Coverage, First hand statement16 years failing support for black men for Democratic presidential candidates Presence of the black manosphere– suggest that we are in the middle of it all a significant racial realignment. While Democratic candidates have long benefited from black magic—the near-universal support of African Americans—the spell has been broken for a growing share of black men. Now Democrats, including the Harris campaign, are trying to figure out how to appoint a up-to-date nominee. However, the chances of stopping the realignment appear slim because black voters are both more culturally conservative and more economically liberal than the current version of the Democratic Party.
November 6th will show how successful this disengagement of black voters has been among Republicans. Even Clayton County Black voters, who were considered the most pro-Biden-friendly districts in 2020, are unsure who they will vote for.
Clayton County, GA voter: “I have never seen a president tweet so much out of emotion. To say that a woman cannot rule the country based on emotions… makes no sense.”

Therefore, it is doubtful whether Kamala Harris will naturally inherit Biden’s generosity.
