In this final episode of Beyond the Ballot we take a look at the demographic shifts shaping the 2024 U.S. elections, with a focus on Georgia's evolving political landscape. Our special guest, Dr. Joshua Meddaugh, Chair of the Social Sciences Department at Clayton State University and President of the Georgia Political Science Association, breaks down how Georgia has transformed from a blue to a red state to a swing state in the last 50 years. He explores the impact of race, religion, and identity on these shifts and why suburban voters are crucial in this election. Plus, we look at how demographic trends nationwide are reshaping political norms and the rise of purple states across the country.
