Georgia is one of the main focal points in the current electoral cycle in the United States, especially after Joe Biden's surprising victory in 2020. This victory triggered unproven allegations of fraud by his opponent Donald Trump, who is now running again as the Republican candidate and threatens not to recognize an unfavorable result.
Sloane Warren, a Democratic volunteer in Marietta, Cobb County, expressed her satisfaction with the electoral process in Georgia. "I think they are looking to see if there is any problem or any kind of incident happening, but there isn't and there is nothing to find," she stated.
Republicans in Georgia are more attentive and vigilant than ever, according to Warren, who argues that despite the efforts of Republican members of the electoral board, they have fallen to "the power of the people."
Recent polls show a slight advantage for Trump in Georgia, but the Republican continues to urge his supporters to remain alert. The key for Republicans, according to the candidate, is to vote early, an option that has gained great popularity in Georgia, with over 2 million early votes registered.
At the early voting center in Macon, Michael O'Neill confirms that the number of voters before the main election day is historic. He appreciates the state Supreme Court's decision, which avoided the need for an extensive and costly manual count.
Georgia has experienced significant demographic changes in recent years, becoming an influential state in elections. Cobb County, in particular, has shifted from being a Republican stronghold to a political "mix," with a diversified electorate that has favored Democrats in recent local elections.
Since 1996, Georgia has been a Republican bastion in presidential elections, but in 2020 Biden managed to defeat Trump in this state, marking a historic milestone for Democrats. The battle for Georgia intensifies in every electoral cycle, and the current elections are no exception.
