Do not fill this in! ===Politics=== Fayette County has been a Republican stronghold since [[1980 United States presidential election in Georgia|1980]]. In 1980 and [[1984 United States presidential election in Georgia|1984]], it was the most Republican county in the entire state. However, with the rapid population growth much of the [[Atlanta metro]] has experienced in recent years, the percentage of Republican voters has decreased significantly in each of the past three elections. The margin went from [[Mitt Romney]]'s 31.2 points in [[2012 United States presidential election in Georgia|2012]], to [[Donald Trump]]'s 19.1 points in [[2016 United States presidential election in Georgia|2016]], to 6.8 points in his [[2020 United States presidential election in Georgia|2020 reelection bid]]. In the runoff for the [[2022 United States Senate election in Georgia]], [[Raphael Warnock]] narrowly lost the county in his re-election bid by a margin of 491 votes or 1.0 points. {{PresHead|place=Fayette County, Georgia|source=<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|last=Leip|first=David|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=2018-03-19}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2020|Republican|37,956|33,062|994|Georgia}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|35,048|23,284|3,179|Georgia}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|38,075|19,736|917|Georgia}} {{PresRow|2008|Republican|38,501|20,313|627|Georgia}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|37,346|14,887|391|Georgia}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|29,338|11,912|1,199|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1996|Republican|21,005|9,875|2,329|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1992|Republican|17,576|8,430|5,681|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|16,443|4,593|87|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|12,575|2,861|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|6,351|3,798|400|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|2,837|3,718|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|3,401|450|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1968|American Independent|867|552|1,888|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1964|Republican|1,349|896|4|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1960|Democratic|359|1,198|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1956|Democratic|138|1,308|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1952|Democratic|195|1,214|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1948|Democratic|54|825|265|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|98|782|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|44|577|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|70|748|1|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|6|746|1|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1928|Democratic|190|367|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1924|Democratic|24|257|42|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1920|Democratic|80|231|0|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|25|494|70|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|12|363|87|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1908|Democratic|162|338|153|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1904|Democratic|59|260|154|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1900|Democratic|141|471|24|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1896|Democratic|345|562|61|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1892|Democratic|192|547|483|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1888|Democratic|204|690|1|Georgia}} {{PresRow|1884|Democratic|246|578|0|Georgia}} {{PresFoot|1880|Democratic|183|499|0|Georgia}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
