Georgia solidifies its swing-state status thanks, in part, to Stacey Abrams

With the nation's eyes on Georgia's ballot count, former Vice President Joe Biden continues to cut into President Donald Trump's narrow lead in the state, giving Democrats the best chance of winning there since 1992.

Republican Sen. David Perdue's vote tally against Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff had dropped below 50% Wednesday. Without a majority of the vote, that race would join a separate runoff between Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democratic challenger Rev. Raphael Warnock scheduled for Jan. 5.

The results underscore the new political reality in a state that Republicans still considered safely red only four years ago. The state, which has trended more blue in the past decade, is indisputably purple – and is likely to shade even further blue in the future.

While most of Georgia's shifting political landscape can be attributed to changing demographics, especially in the Atlanta metropolitan area, progressive activists can be credited for quickening the state's leftward tilt.

And that’s why it’s in play right now. The fact that NC, FL, and TX DID NOT have a Stacey Abrams monitoring their elections is just one reason why I am suspicious of their results.

It’s entirely possible that the polls were NOT WRONG.
