Some elements, such as requiring payment of poll taxes and passing literacy tests, prevented blacks from registering to vote; their exclusion from the political system lasted into the 1960s and reduced the Republican Party to a non-competitive status in the early 20th century.<a href="#cite_note-158">[156]</a> White Democrats regained power after Reconstruction due in part to the efforts of some using intimidation and violence, but this method came into disrepute.<a href="#cite_note-auto1-159">[157]</a> In 1900, shortly before Georgia adopted a disfranchising constitutional amendment in 1908, blacks comprised 47% of the state's population.<a href="#cite_note-160">[158]</a> The whites dealt with this problem of potential political power by the 1908 amendment, which in practice disenfranchised blacks and poor whites, nearly half of the state population. It required that any male at least 21 years of age wanting to register to vote must also be of good character and able to pass a test on citizenship, be able to read and write provisions of the U.S. and Georgia constitutions, or own at least forty acres of land or $500 in property.

More importantly, any Georgian descended from a veteran of any of these wars also was exempted. Because, by 1908, many white Georgia males were grandsons of veterans or owned the required property, the exemption and the property requirement basically allowed only well-to-do whites to vote. The qualifications of good character, citizenship knowledge, literacy (all determined subjectively by white registrars), and property ownership were used to disqualify most blacks and poor whites, preventing them from registering to vote. The voter rolls dropped dramatically.<a href="#cite_note-auto1-159">[157]</a><a href="#cite_note-161">[159]</a> In the early 20th century, <a href="/wiki/Progressivism" title="Progressivism">Progressives</a> promoted electoral reform and reducing the power of ward bosses to clean up politics.

For more than 130 years, from 1872 to 2003, Georgians nominated and elected only white Democratic governors, and white Democrats held the majority of seats in the General Assembly.<a href="#cite_note-162">[160]</a> Most of the Democrats elected throughout these years were <a href="/wiki/Southern_Democrats" title="Southern Democrats">Southern Democrats</a>, who were fiscally and socially conservative by national standards.<a href="#cite_note-163">[161]</a><a href="#cite_note-164">[162]</a> This voting pattern continued after the segregationist period.<a href="#cite_note-165">[163]</a> Legal segregation was ended by passage of federal legislation in the 1960s.

New white residents arrived through migration and immigration. Following support from the national Democratic Party for the civil rights movement and especially civil rights legislation of 1964 and 1965, most African-American voters, as well as other minority voters, have largely supported the Democratic Party in Georgia.<a href="#cite_note-166">[164]</a> In 2002, incumbent moderate Democratic Governor <a href="/wiki/Roy_Barnes" title="Roy Barnes">Roy Barnes</a> was defeated by Republican <a href="/wiki/Sonny_Perdue" title="Sonny Perdue">Sonny Perdue</a>, a state legislator and former Democrat. While Democrats retained control of the State House, they lost their majority in the Senate when four Democrats switched parties. They lost the House in the 2004 election. Republicans then controlled all three partisan elements of the state government. Even before 2002, the state had become increasingly supportive of Republicans in Presidential elections. It has supported a Democrat for president only four times since 1960. In 1976 and 1980, native son <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Carter" title="Jimmy Carter">Jimmy Carter</a> carried the state; in 1992, the former Arkansas governor <a href="/wiki/Bill_Clinton" title="Bill Clinton">Bill Clinton</a> narrowly won the state; and in 2020, <a href="/wiki/Joe_Biden" title="Joe Biden">Joe Biden</a> narrowly carried the state. Generally, Republicans were strongest in the predominantly white suburban (especially the Atlanta suburbs) and rural portions of the state.<a href="#cite_note-CNN.com:_Election_2004-167">[165]</a> Many of these areas were represented by conservative Democrats in the state legislature well into the 21st century.

The ascendancy of the Republican Party in Georgia and in the South in general resulted in Georgia <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">U.S. House of Representatives</a> member <a href="/wiki/Newt_Gingrich" title="Newt Gingrich">Newt Gingrich</a> being elected as <a href="/wiki/Speaker_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="Speaker of the United States House of Representatives">Speaker of the House</a> following the election of a Republican majority in the House in 1994. Gingrich served as Speaker until 1999, when he resigned in the aftermath of the loss of House seats held by members of the GOP. Gingrich mounted an unsuccessful bid for president in the 2012 election, but withdrew after winning only the South Carolina and Georgia primaries.

As in many other states, its legislature had not reapportioned congressional districts according to population from 1931 to after the 1960 census. Problems of malapportionment in the state legislature, where rural districts had outsize power in relation to urban districts, such as Atlanta's, were corrected after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in <a href="/wiki/Wesberry_v._Sanders" title="Wesberry v. Sanders">Wesberry v. Sanders</a> (1964). The court ruled that congressional districts had to be reapportioned to have essentially equal populations. A related case, <a href="/wiki/Reynolds_v._Sims" title="Reynolds v. Sims">Reynolds v. Sims</a> (1964), required state legislatures to end their use of geographical districts or counties in favor of "one man, one vote"; that is, districts based upon approximately equal populations, to be reviewed and changed as necessary after each census. These changes resulted in residents of Atlanta and other urban areas gaining political power in Georgia in proportion to their populations.<a href="#cite_note-epstein-174">[172]</a> From the mid-1960s, the voting electorate increased after African Americans' rights to vote were enforced under civil rights law. Economic growth through this period was dominated by Atlanta and its region. It was a bedrock of the emerging "<a href="/wiki/New_South" title="New South">New South</a>". From the late 20th century, Atlanta attracted headquarters and relocated workers of national companies, becoming more diverse, liberal and cosmopolitan than many areas of the state. In the 21st century, many conservative Democrats, including former U.S. Senator and governor <a href="/wiki/Zell_Miller" title="Zell Miller">Zell Miller</a>, decided to support Republicans. The state's then-socially conservative bent resulted in wide support for measures such as restrictions on abortion.
