Some folks think that Dems have a decent shot at winning GA this year. I'm not as optimistic as they are and would put them at the very bottom of the half dozen or so swing states that the Dems might flip. If they do vote blue in November then I will be pleasantly surprised.

Couldn't find any voter registration data on GA after a short search to see what the numbers of D's, R's and I's are...some states don't require people to specify party affiliation when registering and maybe GA is one of them. But I did find this that indicates at least things may very well be slowly swinging toward the Dems' favor...

Rise of young and diverse Georgia voters may influence 2020 elections

Really surprised to see that GA has automatic registration. That's not usually the case in red states where they've often taken active measures to suppress Democratic votes and not enhance them. Looks like the Goppers in Georgia fell asleep at the wheel on this one. Hope they don't wake up until it's too late.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
