Georgia Democrats Lean on ‘Changing’ Demographics to Flip State Blue

John Binder 28 Dec 2020

Democrat Party insiders in Georgia are leaning on the state’s “changing” demographics, mostly due to immigration, to win the upcoming Senate runoff elections in their quest to defeat Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA).

Analysis by Rich Benjamin in Slate Magazine found that in the GOP-stronghold of Forsyth County, Georgia, President Donald Trump lost ground to Democrat Joe Biden compared to 2016 election totals.

Democrat insiders in Forsyth County credit “changing” demographics as partially responsible for the decline in Trump’s margin but also point to the region as a broader tale of Georgia’s electorate.

Benjamin writes in Slate:

    And yet: Trump carried Forsyth with 66 percent of the vote this year, compared with 72 percent in 2016. That shift can be attributed to an influx of new residents who are skewing more Democratic, paired with moderate Republicans unwilling to vote for Trump, according to internal data collected by the county Democratic Party. [Emphasis added]

    “If one is looking at the election results from afar, an outsider would go, ‘Well, this is a heavily Republican county,’” says Cohen. “But what they need to do is look beneath the surface. Biden increased Democrats’ share of the county vote compared to 2016 by how he ran his campaign deftly appealing to suburban independents, how local activists energized our voters, how the pandemic and dissatisfaction with Trump drove up turnout, and how the county’s demographics are changing.” [Emphasis added]

    …

    The demographics that drove Bourdeaux’s victory may help the Warnock and Ossoff campaigns. Over the past decade, Georgia’s population increased by 10 percent, following an 18 percent increase the prior decade. This surge includes a “new American majority,” a term adopted commonly by scholars, labor unions, and strategists. The “new American majority” includes Georgia residents who are 18 to 29 years old, unmarried women, and/or people of color. That “new American majority” is said to make up 53 percent of the state’s total registered voters. [Emphasis added]

Democrat Party insiders in Georgia are leaning on the state’s “changing” demographics, mostly due to immigration, to win the upcoming Senate runoff elections in their quest to defeat Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA).

No, they're not.  They are leaning on mail-in ballots to bypass voter ID laws, ballot harvesting, extending voting beyond election day, and running stacks of ballots through machines multiple times.

That shift can be attributed to an influx of new residents who are skewing more Democratic, paired with moderate Republicans unwilling to vote for Trump, according to internal data collected by the county Democratic Party.

In Forsyth County, Trump carried 98.6% of Johnny Isakson voters in 2016.  In 2020, he carried 99.4% of David Perdue voters.  In other words, Trump's support INCREASED for down-ticket GOP voters.  The Democrat Party is lying about the data.

Biden increased Democrats’ share of the county vote compared to 2016 by how he ran his campaign deftly appealing to suburban independents

Biden didn't campaign.  He holed up in his basement for half a year.  He has nothing to offer to suburban voters.  Which is why Trump received 15,000 more Forsyth County votes than he did in 2016.

The demographics that drove Bourdeaux’s victory may help the Warnock and Ossoff campaigns.

Bourdeaux lost handily in Forsyth County.
