Abstract
DOMINGUEZ LOPEZ, Ernesto. Georgia en el sistema político estadunidense contemporáneo: evolución en el Sur tradicional. Norteamérica [online]. 2014, vol.9, n.2, pp.07-32. ISSN 2448-7228.
This article studies the evolution of Georgia's participation in U.S. elections from the end of World War II to 2012. The author uses statistic and comparative methods, using information from both official and independent sources, plus field observations. He determined that the evolution of the presidential and congressional sub-processes has been diachronic and observed a tendency to readjust forces visible in the behavior of electoral indicators and that jibes with the variation in the ethnic composition of the state's inhabitants.
Keywords : United States; Georgia; elections; political system; ethnic composition.
