Every Georgia county has now certified the results of the 2024 election.

Historically, this has been a relatively uncontroversial procedural step. Since 2020, that hasn’t been the case. But with Donald Trump’s victory in Georgia, talk of election fraud has died down.

In this week’s edition of “Plugged In: A WABE Politics Podcast,” reporters Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali describe how the state is grappling with the fallout of the 2024 election.

Plus, Georgia Democrats assess what went wrong, Georgia Republicans are hyping up for a MAGA takeover in D.C., a look at what happens to Trump’s criminal charges, and leadership changes hands in the state legislature.
