In Cobb County, Georgia, Democrats are preparing for the elections hoping to replicate the victory they achieved in 2020. This county has experienced significant demographic changes in the last 15 years, attracting a middle-class population with a college education that has favored Democrats in local elections.
Cobb, neighboring Fulton County, used to be a Republican stronghold in Georgia but has become one of the few blue areas in the state. In the 2020 elections, Joe Biden managed to wrest a crucial victory from Trump in Georgia, thus adding 16 electoral votes that were decisive for his arrival at the White House.
Democrats emphasize the importance of counties like Cobb, which do not follow a defined voting pattern, reflecting the political diversity present in the region, ranging from Republicans to Democrats. Despite Trump's failed attempts to contest the 2020 election results, Georgia remains a key state for both parties.
Amid these electoral tensions, Cobb County has become a symbol of the political struggle in Georgia. Recently, the State Election Board approved controversial rules that were later struck down by a circuit judge and upheld by the Georgia Supreme Court.
Polls indicate a slight lead for Trump in Georgia, leading to an increase in early voting in the state. Republicans are calling on their supporters to mobilize and ensure massive participation in the elections. Despite the controversy and allegations of fraud, Georgia remains in the spotlight in the United States election cycle.
