More than 129,000 voters have registered in Georgia since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, which could be a good sign for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Georgia is among several battleground states that could decide the 2024 election between Harris, the Democratic nominee, and her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump.

Polls show the state has gotten more competitive in the two months since Harris entered the race after Biden dropped his bid for reelection on July 21.

The state has seen at least 120,000 new registrants between July 21 and September 8, according to data compiled by L2 Data that Newsweek has reviewed.

Democrats registered more voters in that period—about 51,000—while Republicans registered 13,000. At least 64,000 of the registrants are unaffiliated voters.

    He’s pretty looney. I’m looking at 538 too and his argument basically boils down to the polls don’t reflect reality because there’s inherent bias against Harris so she needs to break margin of error to truly win.

    I’m not sure I buy this argument but I’m willing to bet 539 accounts for that…the thing is even if they don’t EVERY SINGLE POLL on the 538 general election page has her winning.

    That page shows 18 different polls and even though they’re within the margin of error not a single one goes for Donald Trump.
