Grouping counties into six buckets (using federal categorizations), we see that Ossoff’s vote share increased more than Perdue’s across the board. In some large, heavily Black counties, Perdue’s share of the vote dropped. While those shifts in heavily Black counties were important, we should not undervalue the drop in support for Perdue in less heavily Black counties, too. Perdue’s vote total decreased the most relative to November in more heavily White counties. Biden beat Trump in the state by 11,779 votes, as Trump would be the first to remind us.
