County Unit System Georgia has 159 Counties – more than any other state east of the Mississippi River. Under the County Unit System, every county received 3 County Unit Votes. Which ever candidate won an election, he got all of the County Unit Votes for the County This means that NO MATTER THE SIZE OF THE POPULATION, ALL COUNTIES GOT THE SAM # OF VOTES There were more people in the Urban area counties (Like Fulton), but there were more Rural counties throughout the entire state This means that the RURAL COUNTIES benefitted from the County Unit System and had more voting power than the Urban areas

Example 50,000 people 18 County Unit Votes Laurens County 15,000 Tift County 10,000 Glynn County 7,000 Bacon County 5,000 Crisp County 5,000 Coffee County 8,000 __________________________ 50,000 people 18 County Unit Votes Fulton County 100,000 3 County Unit Votes
