Sources
Georgia SOS results site (Enhanced Voting), https://results.sos.ga.gov/results/public/Georgia. The JSON API returns one file per county:
- 2022 (official, certified): https://results.sos.ga.gov/results/public/api/elections/<county-shortname>/2022NovGen/data, for example .../appling-county-ga/2022NovGen/data. The election is marked isOfficialResults=true, with asOf 2025-01-02.
- 2026 (unofficial): https://results.sos.ga.gov/results/public/api/elections/<county-shortname>/11032026GeneralAndSpecialElection/data.
- The statewide cross-check came from https://results.sos.ga.gov/results/public/api/elections/Georgia/11032026GeneralAndSpecialElection/data.
- County short names come from https://results.sos.ga.gov/results/public/api/jurisdictions/Georgia.
- The Clarity ENR site (results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA) returned 403 to curl. The OpenElections 2022 precinct file did not reconcile with the official totals (it roughly doubles the House totals), so it was not used.
2026 as-of
- County files were fetched 2026-11-10 02:06–02:08 UTC (Nov 9, 9:06–9:08 pm ET).
- The statewide election asOf was 2026-11-10T00:24:54Z (Nov 9, 7:24 pm ET), and lastUpdated was 00:12:39Z.
- County asOf stamps range from 2026-11-04 to 2026-11-10 00:24Z.
- The county sums equal the SOS statewide House totals at that time exactly: D 2,344,881, R 1,826,666.
Classification
- Votes are classified by the candidate's party abbreviation (Dem/Rep).
- In 2026, 8 county-level candidate entries had an empty party field: Bryan, Liberty, Long and McIntosh (CD1, Kingston); Evans and Tattnall (CD12, Allen); Worth (CD8, Scott); and Stewart (CD2, Bishop). These were classified by the "(Rep)"/"(Dem)" suffix in the candidate name.
- The bilingual (English/Spanish) contest titles for CD4 and CD9 are the same contests, and no county reports a district twice.

n/a |
- 2022 D and R match exactly.
- The 14 "other" 2022 votes in FEC's total are write-ins. The SOS results contain no write-in or other House candidates, so o22 is left blank (not reported).
- The 2026 file is D +5,281 and R +2,403 above the national aggregate figures. This is consistent with counting that continued after the national-aggregate snapshot: the SOS statewide feed at 7:24 pm ET equals this file exactly.
- 2026 SOS data likewise lists only D and R House candidates, so o26 is blank.
Districts with no D or no R candidate
- 2022: none (all 14 districts contested by both D and R).
- 2026: none (all 14 districts contested by both D and R).
Caveats
- 2026 counts are unofficial and still changing (provisional/UOCAVA cures, certification pending).
- Georgia used the congressional map redrawn in Dec 2023 (court-ordered) in 2024 and 2026. 2022 used the 2021 map, so the districts covering a county differ between the two years. County totals are still comparable as countywide sums.
