ATLANTA — Former President Bill Clinton made his rounds through south Georgia on Sunday in hopes of rallying voters to get to the polls early.
"All the experts in both parties say that this election is coming down to seven or eight states — one of which is Georgia," Clinton said.
Zachary Peskowitz, a political science associate professor at Emory, said even a small swing could tip the Peach State in one direction or the other.
"All the polls are really close. Any small, incremental changes could be the difference in winning Georgia," Peskowitz said, though he added the window to convince undecided voters is probably almost closed.
Terrence Monroe is a Snellville voter. He said he's voting on Nov. 5 because he hasn't run into any problems in the past.
"When you look at how the country has been the last four years, I know who I'm voting for," Monroe said.
Peskowitz said the parties benefit from early voters.
"Both parties are trying to get their supporters to turn out early, more so than in the past," Peskowitz said. "You really don't want to be counting on all your voters to turn out on Election Day if there's bad weather or some other mishaps."
Atlanta voter Austin Steed said he plans to vote early.
"An early voting spot's right down the street. As long as the kids are behaving well and I can get away for a little bit, I'm going to hop over there as soon as I get a chance in the next couple of weeks," Steed said.
Peskowitz said everything about this presidential election will likely be down to the wire.
"There is even this small possibility of a tie in the electoral college at 269/269," Peskowitz said.
If that happens, Peskowitz said the House of Representatives will decide.
Even if the victory is by the skin of their teeth, the campaigns will continue to try and rally voters, one visit at a time. Following Clinton's visit, former President Donald Trump will be in Cumming and Atlanta Tuesday. Then, Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Atlanta on Saturday.
