2012 United States presidential election in Georgia instance of United States presidential election in Georgia
The 2012 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on November 6, 2012, as part of the 2012 General Election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Georgia voters chose 16 electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan.
Romney won Georgia by a 7.82% margin, an improvement from 2008 when John McCain won by 5.2%. Romney received 53.30% of the vote to Obama's 45.48%. Early County flipped from supporting the Republican candidate to the Democratic candidate, while Chattahoochee flipped from the Democratic column to the Republican column. Obama thus became the first Democrat to win the White House without carrying Chattahoochee County since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. This is the last time a Democrat won without carrying the state. 
Along with Arizona, Georgia is one of only two states to vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, that also voted against Obama in both 2008 and 2012. Obama remains the only Democrat to ever win two terms without carrying Georgia either time. As of 2020, this is the last time a Democratic presidential nominee won the rural Black Belt counties of Baker, Dooly, Early, Peach, Quitman, and Twiggs, and the last time that the suburban Atlanta counties of Gwinnett, Henry, and Cobb would vote Republican in a presidential race. This was also the first election since 1980 in which Georgia voted to the left of Missouri, and the last time that Georgia voted to the right of Ohio or Iowa as of 2020. This is also the last time that Georgia has backed the losing candidate in a presidential election.
