The Final Tally, Pt. 1: Flipped

Oct 29, 2026 43 min

It had been almost three decades since Georgia backed a Democratic presidential candidate. Then, in 2020, it flipped. As Joe Biden's narrow victory emerged, false claims of voter fraud spread across the state, turning Fulton County into the center of a national firestorm. AJC reporters Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy, David Wickert and Tia Mitchell take listeners inside the recounts, conspiracy theories, threats against election workers, and the pressure campaign that culminated in Donald Trump's infamous call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. It's the story of how Georgia became the epicenter of "Stop the Steal" and why the fight didn't end when the votes were counted. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
