Georgia on their minds State where entire US election is on the line

Mary Holewinski lives in Carrollton, Georgia, the home turf of the far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. But Holewinski is a Kamala Harris supporter and has a sign in her yard. "I've lost neighbor friends," she said.

It helps that Carrollton is a college town and discussing politics is possible – to an extent. "I feel like the people I live around, you can sit down and have a conversation with them, and they are willing to listen
but not everybody," said Holewinski. "There are some people who don't want to hear your side of it."

These tensions are rising because for voters in Georgia it can feel like the entire US election is on the line. The state went for Biden in 2020 by 11,780 votes, out of 5m ballots cast – the first time since 1992 that the state turned blue. Its 16 electoral college votes were a bulwark for Democrats, showing the nation's rejection of Donald Trump, however slim.

Georgia has personal significance for Trump and his war on the 2020 election results. The former president still faces charges in an election interference case in Atlanta's Fulton county, after he made what he described as a "perfect phone call" to the Georgia secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, asking him to "find" another 11,800 votes. A Georgia win would represent belated validation for the former president.
