Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Governor Brian Kemp certified that democratic President-elect Joe Biden won the state of Georgia and its 16 electoral votes in the November 3 election. A hand recount triggered by Georgia's election laws confirmed the original vote that had Biden ahead in the vote count.
President-elect Biden is the first democratic Presidential candidate to win the state since 1992. It was a great win for Biden in a state won by Trump in the 2016 election and one thought to be dominated by Trump in this years election. It was a real democratic blue wave of votes that flocked to the polls to vote and increased their 2016 vote registration close to a million new voters.
So now all eyes are on Georgia's two U.S. Senate run off races scheduled for early January. The out come will decide what party will control the U.S. Senate which at present is controlled by the GOP. The stakes could not be higher, but more important is the fact that Joe Biden is the President-elect.
Biden not only ran a better campaign that Trump, he let his fellow Americans know he would not run a campaign that put the public's life at risk with a virus pandemic still out of control. The health and safety of America and its people were in the President-elect's thoughts. The bottom line to the vote was that the people of Georgia spoke loud and clear.
