W. Bush Republican Party (United States) The 1988 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 8, 1988. All 50 states and the District of Columbia were part of the 1988 United States presidential election. Georgia voters chose 12 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president. Georgia was won by incumbent Vice President George H. W. Bush of Texas, who was running against Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis. Bush ran with Indiana Senator Dan Quayle as vice president, and Dukakis ran with Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen. Only two counties failed to give one of the major party nominees an outright majority: Clarke, which gave Dukakis a narrow plurality, and Bibb, which gave Bush a narrow plurality. Bush won four counties that had voted for Walter Mondale in 1984, out of only seven such counties nationwide.Menendez, Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004, p. 111 0786422173These seven counties that voted for Mondale in 1984 and Bush in 1988 were Lincoln County and Hardeman County, Tennessee – in both of which Bush was only the second-ever GOP winner after Richard Nixon in 1972 – Strom Thurmond’s home county of Edgefield, South Carolina, and the four Georgia counties of Bibb, Taylor, Telfair and Mitchell. Georgia was one of only two states that Bush carried in 1988 which had voted for Jimmy Carter in 1980, the other being Maryland. Background Georgia was the only former Confederate state that supported the Democratic presidential nominee in any of the 1980, 1984, and 1988 presidential elections.Moreland Steed Baker 1991 23 In 1986, 37% of white voters identified as Democrats.Black Black 2002 125 Mack Mattingly's election to the U.S. Senate in 1980 made him the first Republican statewide official since Reconstruction, but he was defeated by Wyche Fowler in the 1986 election.Moreland Steed Baker 1991 58 However, the Republicans increased their seat total in the Georgia General Assembly from 28 to 48 seats between 1980 and 1989.Moreland Steed Baker 1991 69 Primaries Democratic primary The racial composition of the Democratic primary electorate was 64% white and 36% black.Black Black 1992 263 Al Gore won 53% of the white vote.Black Black 1992 266 Jesse Jackson won with a plurality of the vote. +1988 Georgia Democratic presidential primary resultsGeorgia Secretary of State - Results of the March 8, 1988 Preference Primary https://sos.ga.gov/sites/default/files/2022-01/march_1988_presidentialpreferenceprimary_totals.pdf July 24, 2024 Georgia Secretary of State PDFCandidateVote received#%Jesse Jackson247,83139.80%Albert Gore, Jr.201,49032.36%Michael Dukakis97,17915.61%Dick Gephardt41,489 6.66%Gary Hart15,8522.55%Paul Simon8,3881.35% Uncommitted7,2761.17%Bruce Babbitt3,2470.52%Total622,752100% Republican primary Among white voters, 49% participated in the Republican primary.Black Black 1992 288 George H. W. Bush won Georgia in the Republican primary, but supporters of Pat Robertson staged a walkout of the state's convention in protest of the delegate selection. Two competing delegate slates were sent to the Republican National Convention. The Georgian delegation was divided equally between the Bush and Robertson supporters to avoid controversy, but John Stuckey Jr., a Bush supporter and chair of the Georgia Republican Party, threatened to resign in protest of the deal. The Robertson delegates attempted to have Brant Frost IV, Robertson's campaign chair for Georgia, be selected as the chair of the Georgia delegation, but was rejected in favor of U.S. Representative Pat Swindall.Moreland Steed Baker 1991 59-60 Georgia's national committeeman was sought by the Bush-backed Newt Gingrich, Robertson-backed incumbent Carl Gillis, and Joe Rogers.

Lester Maddox, a former Democratic governor, criticized Dukakis as a "socialist and revolutionary leftist" and promised to conduct an anti-Dukakis campaign in six southern states. Dukakis planned on conducting a tour of the state in October, but it was canceled as scheduling conflicts prevented state Democratic leaders from joining him.Moreland Steed Baker 1991 65 Bush won 134 counties and all of the metropolitan areas in the state.
