Now that the dust has settled on the aftermath of the 2024 general election, the numbers are clear: In battleground Georgia, a key swing state in this year’s presidential election, former President Donald J. Trump has defeated Vice President Kamala Harris and won the state’s 16 electoral elections. votes with 50.74% of the votes.

With 99% of votes counted, the vote margin between Trump and Harris is 2.2 points, or about 117,000 votes – a Republican shift in the vote margin of nearly 5 points since 2020. In the last presidential election, President Joe Biden won stands. by about 11,000 votes, turning the state blue for the first time since 1992.

Here’s a closer look at how each county voted in this year’s election, and how party political margins are changing in Georgia.

The majority of Georgia’s 159 counties saw a Republican shift in this year’s elections, with Webster County seeing the biggest change by more than 10.5 points. A total of 134 counties supported Trump more strongly than in 2020, including counties in both urban and rural areas. However, 24 counties saw a Democratic shift in presidential vote margins, with Henry County showing the strongest Democratic increase at 9.2 points. (Walker County was the only area where no shift occurred between the two elections.)

Baker, Dooly, Peach, Quitman and Twiggs County all voted for Trump by larger margins than in 2020, showing a shift that was in line with much of the rest of the state.

Three counties – Baldwin, Jefferson and Washington – flipped this year, voting for Biden in the 2020 election and Trump in 2024. These counties were also among a group of five split-ticket counties in the 2022 midterm elections, where the residents voted for the Republican government. Brian Kemp, next to Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock. The two remaining counties, Clay and Sumter, both went to Harris by narrow margins.
