United States Presidential Election In Georgia, 2004
The 2004 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 2, 2004 throughout all 50 states and D.C., which was part of the 2004 United States presidential election. Voters chose 15 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Georgia was won by incumbent President George W. Bush by a 16.6% margin of victory. Prior to the election, all 12 news organizations considered this a state Bush would win, or otherwise considered as a safe red state. Bush performed almost five points better than he did in 2000. He also won a wide majority of the counties and congressional districts. The results of the state were similar to other states in the Deep south, such as Alabama and Louisiana. Like those states, the exit polling showed racial polarization as Bush dominated among white voters, which make up almost 70% of the vote, and Kerry dominated among African American voters, which made up 30% of the state's population. Software engineer and talk show host Michael Badnarik (L-TX) would finish third in the popular vote in Georgia, getting 0.6% of the vote, which is one of his best statewide performances in the nation.
