"Flipped provides an account of how the election of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff transformed Georgia from a Republican stronghold to a battleground state. Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Greg Bluestein charts how progressive activists and organizers worked to help register hundreds of thousands of new voters and how Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Georgia may inform Democratic strategy for years to come. He also chronicles how Georgia's Republicans countered with a move to the right that culminated in key state leaders defying Donald Trump's demands to overturn his 2020 defeat."--
