On October 13, former President Bill Clinton traveled to Albany, Georgia urged Mount Zion Baptist Church worshipers to unite with Vice President Kamala Harris in her campaign for an office he once held.

According to , Clinton emphasized unity in his remarks.

“Bringing people together and building and mending the breaches, as Isaiah says, those are the things that work,” Clinton told the gang. “Blaming, dividing, humiliating – they give a lot of votes during elections, but it doesn’t work.”

Clinton also said the election could change based on the choices of undecided voters in the approaching weeks.

“The entire election and the future of the country turns out to be what people who were on the fence about voting will do in the next three and a half weeks,” Clinton said. “It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”

According to , Clinton asked the Harris campaign to send her to rural areas because that is where the previous president felt most comfortable.

Democrats reportedly view Clinton’s ability to construct relationships with each rural and black voters as a positive, but there are questions on how far that may go because the population most acquainted with his presidency ages.

Black voters are perceived as critical of the Democratic Party’s efforts in Georgia, putting voters in a battleground state. In the state, black voters make up one-third of all registered voters.

In September, Black Voters Matter co-founder LaTosha Brown told NPR that it was concerned about voter suppression and disinformation may influence elections.

“I believe what’s terrifying is the scope and intensity of disinformation and disinformation. You know, I’ve seen images of AI on social media. “I see these desperate things about Vice President Harris that I know are untrue or false based on her race or identity,” Brown said.

Brown continued: “I see these things popping up on my timeline, right? This scares me because I think in the absence of real information, sometimes people will gravitate towards things that are sensational and sometimes they will believe them because of the way they are presented.”

Brown also expressed concern that changes to Georgia’s voter certifications could have negative consequences for the outcomes.

“You also have this process that I am now deeply concerned about. In the last month or so, these two rules for certifying election results have changed. “So now an election official can say, ‘I think something’s wrong’ – without having to provide any proof – to actually delay the certification process,” Brown cautioned. “And that’s why it scares me that the election will be decided on November 5 in such a way that these votes will be certified?”

According to , whoever wins Georgia will almost definitely win the presidency.

By model from 538if Trump wins Georgia, he may have a 75% likelihood of winning the White House, but when Vice President Harris wins, she has a 90% likelihood of becoming president.

According to the collective 538 model, the race in Georgia is razor sharp. Trump currently leads the state by 1 percent, closer than he was to President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race. Georgia’s demographics make black voter participation much more critical.

Georgia, like other southern states, has a high degree of racial polarization in voting. Harris currently has about 82% of black voters in Georgia, which is lower than Biden attracted, while Trump’s 15% share means a five percent increase in black support, which could portend an consequence in Trump’s favor.

According to nevertheless Polling stays an inexact science and acts as a barometer.

According to David Byler, data scientist and pollster at Noble Predictive Insights: “We just don’t live in a world where the polls are giving us this 100 percent, 0 percent probability of winning. You can get odds, probabilities and some level of certainty. But we live in an extremely polarized moment, and polls are not an accurate tool to provide certainty.”
