Georgia Election Results: A Nail-Biter for Trump

The 2020 United States presidential election was a closely contested affair in Georgia, with polls showing a slender lead for Democratic candidate Joe Biden throughout the campaign. The state's voters were crucial to both candidates' chances of winning the presidency, and in the end, it was Biden who emerged victorious.

Biden's victory was attributed to high turnout among Hispanic/Latino and Native American voters, who played a vital role in swinging the election in his favor. Additionally, he became the first Democrat to win Maricopa County since Harry Truman, with a margin of 2.2% or 45,109 votes.

Maricopa County was seen as a key battleground state, with only one presidential candidate ever winning Arizona without carrying it. The county's diversification was attributed to its traditionally Republican stronghold, which holds 61.6% of the state's population.

Trump carried Arizona in 2016 by 3.5%, and it was considered a vital battleground in this election. The Libertarian nominees were also on the ballot, offering voters an alternative to the two main parties.

The 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, with Arizona voters choosing 11 electors to represent them in the Electoral College. The election pitted incumbent Republican President Donald Trump of Florida and his running mate, incumbent Vice President Mike Pence of Indiana, against Democratic challenger and former Vice President Joe Biden of Delaware and his running mate, United States Senator Kamala Harris of California.

In the end, Biden's victory in Georgia was a significant upset for Trump, who had won the state by 5.2% in 2016. The election results were a testament to the changing demographics of the state and the growing influence of Hispanic/Latino voters in American politics.

As the country continues to grapple with the aftermath of the election, one thing is clear: the 2020 United States presidential election was a historic moment that will be remembered for years to come.
