If Hillary Clinton wins Georgia, she will join her husband as the only two Democrats to have won the state since 1980, when President Jimmy Carter, a native Georgian, beat Republican nominee Ronald Reagan there but ultimately got clobbered in the general election.
Clinton since the beginning of June, has spend more than $4 million on ads across the state.
