State of the Parties: Georgia

The Atlanta Journal Constitution provides a window into the Georgia Republican Party. In a period, when Democratic Party leaders have been doing precisely what they are supposed to do (broker internal conflicts and usher the party toward electoral success), Trump has once again been sowing division. His renewed attacks on Governor Brian Kemp are worrying to Georgia’s GOP and are cited as one of the reasons that several forecasters have placed Georgia back in the toss-up category. Trump’s recent focus on the Georgia Elections Board, with his three Republican allies, should probably be viewed as part of this story. In addition to expanding local official’s discretion to delay certification of election result (extremely concerning for the Harris campaign, I would think!), the Board has re-opened an investigation of Fulton County’s 2020 count.
