Voters chose 13 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Georgia was won by Senator Bob Dole (R-KS) by a narrow 1.2% margin.http://sos.georgia.gov/elections/election_results/1996_1105/federal.htm 11/5/96 - Federal and Statewide 2010-03-01 2010-05-15 https://web.archive.org/web/20100515044641/http://sos.georgia.gov/elections/election_results/1996_1105/federal.htm dead Georgia was the third-closest contest that year, with only Kentucky and Nevada being closer, as well as Dole's closest race. Dole's victory was possible due to the declining support for Democrats in Georgia and many other Southeastern States, though the Democratic Party in Georgia would remain dominant at the state level until the early 2000s. Billionaire businessman Ross Perot (Ref-TX), who had unsuccessfully run for president as an independent in the previous election, won 6.4% of the popular vote in Georgia, a significant total for a third-party candidate. Until the 2020 election (which Democrats won), this was the last time that a Democratic presidential nominee finished within 2% of the Republican candidate; this was also the last time any third-party candidate had won more than 5% of the popular vote in Georgia. During the concurrent U.S. Senate election in Georgia, Secretary of State of Georgia Max Cleland (D) narrowly defeated businessman Guy Millner (R) 48.87% to 47.54%. In addition, incumbent U.S. Representatives Sanford Bishop (D-GA-2), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA-8), and Charlie Norwood (R-GA-10) all received strong challenges that year during the House elections but were nonetheless re-elected. Georgia weighed in for this election as 10 points more Republican than the national average. 2024 11 As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election in which Wheeler, Butts, Heard, Polk, Long, Hart, Chattooga, Elbert, Treutlen, Decatur, Screven, Wilkes, Greene, Dodge, Clinch, Crawford, Lanier, Miller, Brooks, Taylor, Turner, Wilcox, Cook, Marion, Jenkins, Atkinson, Berrien, Lamar, Crisp, Emanuel, Pulaski, Schley, Grady, Irwin, Johnson, Seminole, Putnam, Montgomery, Jasper, and Ben Hill counties voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 Georgia was one of three states won by Clinton in 1992 that Dole was able to flip, the others being Montana and Colorado. This is the last election in which Georgia would vote differently from Arizona, as both had Republican winning streaks from 2000 to 2016 before flipping simultaneously in 2020 and 2024. Among white voters, 61% supported Dole, 29% supported Clinton, and 8% supported Perot.AllPolitics - Georgia President Exit Poll Results https://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/GAPxp.html 2026-09-24 www.cnn.com Georgia was Doles fourth strongest performance among whites in the entire nation, the top three were Mississippi (Dole+43)AllPolitics - Mississippi President Exit Poll Results https://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/MSPxp.html 2026-09-24 www.cnn.com, South Carolina (Dole+37)AllPolitics - South Carolina President Exit Poll Results https://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/SCPxp.html 2026-09-24 www.cnn.com, and Alabama (Dole+33).AllPolitics - Alabama President Exit Poll Results https://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/ALPxp.html 2026-09-24 www.cnn.com Results 1996 United States presidential election in GeorgiaDave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas; 1996 Presidential General Election Results – GeorgiaPartyCandidateRunning mateVotesPercentageElectoral votes Republican Bob Dole Jack Kemp 1,080,843 47.01% 13 Democratic Bill Clinton (incumbent) Al Gore (incumbent) 1,053,849 45.84% 0 Reform Ross Perot Pat Choate 146,337 6.37% 0 Libertarian Harry Browne Jo Jorgensen 17,870 0.78% 0 Taxpayers Howard Phillips (write-in) Herbert Titus 145"notseparated" These write-in votes were not separated by county but given only as a state-wide total.https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=1991 Our Campaigns GA US President Race, November 05, 1996 0.01% 0 Independent Charles E.

Republican to Democratic Chatham Clinch Electors Technically the voters of Georgia cast their ballots for electors: representatives to the Electoral College. Georgia was allocated 13 electors because it had 11 congressional districts and two senators. All candidates who appeared on the ballot or qualified to receive write-in votes had to submit a list of 13 electors, who pledged to vote for their candidate and his or her running mate. Whoever won the majority of votes in the state was awarded all 13 electoral votes. Their chosen electors would then vote for president and vice president. Although electors are pledged to their candidate and running mate, they are not obligated to vote for them. An elector who votes for someone other than his or her candidate is known as a faithless elector. The electors of each state and the District of Columbia met in December 1996 to cast their votes for president and vice president. The Electoral College itself never meets as one body. Instead, the electors from each state and the District of Columbia met in their respective capitols. The following were the members of the Electoral College from the state. All were pledged to and voted for Bob Dole and Jack Kemp.https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/votes/members_1996.html The Electoral College 20 May 2019 Thomas J.
