Observed someone as the state appeared to vote for Biden over Trump: ‘John Lewis must be smiling from heaven.’
Clayton County, Georgia is on the southern side of Atlanta. It is home to cities like Jonesboro, Riverdale and Forest Park, predominantly Black cities and predominantly middle class.
It is a county that was previously represented in the U.S. House of Representatives by the late, great John Lewis.
And it is the county that turned Georgia blue in this year’s presidential election.
The flip in Georgia marks the first time the state has voted Democratic since the election of President Bill Clinton in 1992.
As time ticked away late Thursday, President Donald Trump‘s huge lead over former Vice President Joe Biden disappeared in Georgia as votes were counted. Provisional, absentee and other ballots were still being tabulated as of Friday morning, lessening the likelihood the state’s 16 electoral votes would go to Trump.
