2018 Election Results
So, it seems my earlier predictions where wrong by a bit. The Dems have taken the house, and they’re doing better in the Senate than I would have thought. Stacie Abrams does not seem to have won the governor’s race, but has come very close, which is quite remarkable for a Democrat in GA. Voter turnout was way, way higher too, in contrast, as of 6:40 AM the day after the totals are
| Candidate | Party | Votes | Percentage | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brian Kemp | GOP | 1,962,547 | 50% | |||
| Stacey Abrams | Dem | 1,887,161 | 49% | |||
| Ted Metz | Lib | 36,706 | 1% | |||
| Total | 3,886,414 | |||||
In contract, in 2014 the results were
Georgia gubernatorial election, 2014[16]
Republican Nathan Deal – 1,345,237 – 52.75%
Democratic Jason Carter – 1,144,794 – 44.89%
Libertarian Andrew Hunt – 60,185 2.36%
Total 2,550,216
A difference of 1.4 million votes in only four years which is rather staggering.
