Election_2002

Election 2002 With the thin majority held by both political parties in the House and Senate the 2002 elections will decide which political party will have control in congress. In the US Senate the democrats hold a majority by one seat so every election makes a difference. Out of all the different elections the Republicans have focused on a select few to try and gain a majority. One of those select few is the election for the GA senate seat. Looking at Georgia’s voting history, it would be impossible to predict the outcome of the election. Georgia on the average since the World War II has chosen the democratic presidential candidate (Almanac of American Politics 451). However, in the more recent elections a more divided Georgia emerged. In Clintons first election he won Georgia’s 13 electoral votes, but in his reelection he was unable to win Georgia. Then in the election of 2000 Al Gore missed out on Georgia’s 13 electors by a thin margin of 12% (Almanac of American Politics 459). As far as other elected offices Georgia has followed a very democratic trend.
