Since Election day, Voting Booth traveled to Georgia to delve into 2020’s most surprising presidential outcome. Our reporting traced the vote counting and attacks on the process. All are a backdrop to early January runoffs that will decide the U.S. Senate majority.
 

• Agitated Trump Supporters Coalescing into Distrustful New Election Integrity Movement (November 24) For years, Republicans perpetuated the myth of widespread voter fraud. But Trump’s supporters have discovered the world of voting systems and election procedure and don’t like what they see.
 

• Georgia’s Hand Count of 2020 Ballots was No Risk-Limiting Audit, Says Audit Creator (November 20) Philip Stark, who created the audit being adopted by many states, said 2020’s only statewide hand count of presidential votes served a purpose, but was not a good audit.
 

• Fabricated Ballots, Dead Voters and Other Phantom Fears from Trump Supporters at Georgia Presidential Audit (November 16) Partisan suspicions shadowed the hand count of presidential ballots in Georgia's most populous county. The audit was conducted to see if Georgia's new voting system had accurately counted paper ballots. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, ordered the tally.

Florida has slipped from Democratic hands while demographic changes and grassroots efforts have turned Georgia into a swing state.
