Where the answer lives
GA, the full state outline.
Cycle-by-cycle arc
Georgia moved 3.0 points left between 2008 and 2024, ending at R+2.2 after starting at R+5.2 under Obama. The trajectory ran the wrong way first, drifting 2.6 points right from 2008 to 2012 to hit R+7.8. The reversal built across two cycles: 2.7 points left in 2012→2016, then 5.3 points left in 2016→2020 to flip the state to D+0.2. The 2020→2024 cycle gave back 2.4 points, landing Georgia back on the R side at R+2.2.
Shifted 3.0 pts right across 16 years.
Against county, state, and national
Georgia ran R+2.2 in 2024 after going D+0.2 in 2020 and R+5.1 in 2016 — a 2.9-point rightward move off the 2020 peak, but still 2.9 points to the left of the 2016 line. The 2020 cycle is the inflection: a 5.3-point leftward swing from 2016 that flipped the state, followed by a partial reversion in 2024. Turnout held at 64.4% in 2024.
