East Cobb voters prefer Trump but Harris makes it close

East Cobb voters prefer Trump but Harris wins precincts

As was the case in 2020, Republican Donald Trump won most of the East Cobb precincts in the 2024 presidential voting.

But Democrat Kamala Harris, who won Cobb County, was competitive in a number of precincts in what has been a traditional GOP stronghold.

In Cobb, Harris received 227,640 votes, or 56.8 percent (results here), the third consecutive Democratic candidate to win the county, as metro Atlanta continues to be a state battleground.

But after losing a disputed state election in 2020, Trump reclaimed Georgia on Tuesday en route to his return to the White House.

Trump’s 2,660,936 votes in Georgia were good for 50.75 percent, while Harris 2,543,929 votes, or 48.51 percent (results here).

He won all of the seven national battleground states—including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada—to collect 312 electoral votes.

That’s the most for a Republican presidential candidate since George H.W. Bush in 1988.

As Cobb has turned Democratic in general (there are no Republican elected countywide officials any longer), parts of East Cobb have followed that trend.

Trump won 29 precincts in the East Cobb area to 18 for Harris, but many of them were close.

Trump won the Dickerson 1 precinct with only 50.5 percent of the vote, and by similar slim margins in both Eastside precincts.

In Fullers Park 1, Trump got more votes but only 49.98 percent, compared to 48.25 percent for Harris.

A similar result occurred in Timber Ridge 1, with Trump collecting 49.9 percent and Harris 49.19.

Trump just got 50 percent of the votes in both of the Roswell precincts.

Harris won the Mt. Bethel 3 precinct with exactly 50 percent of the vote, and she took two of the three Sope Creek precincts.
