Notes: The estimated share of votes counted is based on AP analysis. AP notes that this will fluctuate as the vote tabulation takes place. Election results are tabulated by The Associated Press. (Here’s how NPR will report the 2024 election results.) Candidates receiving less than 5% support are not shown individually. Demographic, income and education data comes from 2018-2022 American Community Survey five-year estimates. Demographic trends are not shown for special elections or states with fewer than 10 counties reporting above 50%. County-level unemployment data shown are preliminary August 2024 rates, via the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Township-level unemployment data comes from state governments. 2020 presidential margins are based on states’ final certified results, as provided by The Associated Press.
Georgia election results
Joe Biden broke a Republican streak held since 1996 when he beat Donald Trump by fewer than 12,000 votes in Georgia in 2020. That win for Biden happened in part because the state has diversified rapidly: The share of Latino voters in the state has doubled since 2008, Black voters make up a third of eligible voters and the Asian American and Pacific Islander population has grown by more than 50% since 2010.
And the youth vote (ages 18 to 29) is particularly important: Georgia was the only swing state where the youth vote exceeded the nationwide youth share of the electorate in 2020.
Ever since Vice President Harris made Atlanta one of her first major campaign stops, she has made it clear she’s keen on winning over Georgia — and its 16 electoral votes.
