The final sprint of the 2016 presidential campaign in Georgia

There were no visits from high-profile supporters for Trump or Clinton, no raucous rallies either. Instead, Friday and Saturday focused on the painstaking behind-the-scenes work by each campaign to identify voters who haven’t already cast ballots — more than 2.2 million already have — and make sure they’re headed to the polls on Tuesday.

Thousands of phone calls were made and hundreds of doors were knocked upon as volunteers campaigned for Clinton and Trump. Last-minute donations were pledged and rides to voting sites were arranged.

Georgia hasn’t awarded its electoral votes to a Democratic presidential nominee since 1992, and Trump has held onto a small lead in most of the public polls in the state. But the race remains as volatile as ever in the final days before the vote.

Volunteers for both candidates seemed to thrive on the challenge. In Decatur, Clinton supporters fanned out trying to shore up support. In Cobb, Republicans talked of the need to bolster down-ballot candidates. And in Savannah and Augusta, both parties rallied the faithful.

Here are four snapshots from across the state.

Augusta

Susan Conger has been a volunteer for Republican presidential candidates for more than five decades. The former math teacher remembers nailing Barry Goldwater posters onto telephone poles with her family when she was in grade school.

“I was maybe 10. We would stand up on the top of the car so nobody could tear down the posters,” she said.

Conger does things a little differently these days.

When she arrives daily at the GOP’s East Georgia regional headquarters, a squat building on a busy commercial street decked out with dozens of political yard signs, she picks up a headset and tablet that contains a targeted list of voters for her to call.

Donning an American flag vest and a tall white hat with a Trump-Pence sticker, Conger said the technology isn’t the only new thing on the scene. She said voter excitement over Donald Trump is like nothing she’s seen in decades.

“When they say they’re for Trump, they’re not just whispering it,” she said. “I don’t remember people honking their horns at my bumper sticker unless maybe when (Ronald) Reagan was running.”

Bob Finnegan, chairman of the Richmond County GOP, said Trump has helped bring fresh voices into the political fold this cycle.

“This is just a new surge of energy, which is really good,” Finnegan said of Trump supporters working with the local GOP.

The challenge for local party leaders such as Finnegan is to keep those new voters engaged, even if Trump loses the White House.

“We want to take it further than just the presidency. It’s important that people get involved at the lower level, the local level,” Finnegan said.

Decatur

At the DeKalb County campaign office here, former Democratic state Sen. Jason Carter rallied about 100 volunteers Saturday before they set out on foot to knock on doors.

Carter, the party’s 2014 nominee for governor, said their work is the foundation of the campaign.

“From today, tomorrow, Monday, Tuesday, what matters the most is this get-out-the-vote ground game operation,” Carter said.

He urged his fellow Democrats to pay little attention to the chatter about the state of the national campaign.

“All the insiders, and all the pundits, they have no idea,” Carter said. “The polls at this point are guesses. We don’t know what’s going to happen in Ohio. We don’t know what’s going to happen in Florida.”

With the tightening of the race over the past two weeks, a win for Clinton in Georgia could be key.

“Georgia now has an opportunity to make a difference in the election,” he said.

Ayanna Pressley, the first black woman elected to Boston City Council, joined the effort to motivate Georgia voters..

“I know something about being underestimated,” she said. “I grew up in Chicago and I rooted for the Cubs my whole life. They underestimated you Georgia. And you are changing minds.”

Kristin Williams, 24, a University of Georgia law school student, was among the volunteers.

“I want to see Georgia represent the values I think Hillary embodies,” Williams said. “I want to see Georgia support the right candidate.”

Roland Young, 67, of Stone Mountain, signed in to volunteer because “this is incredibly important. The only way we can make a difference is to be involved and be intentional,” he said. “We have to be part of that change.”

Marietta

Ross Cado came to the offices of the GOP headquarters empty handed. He left with his arms full of signs for U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk.

The presidential election was on the minds of the dozens of Republican volunteers who showed up Saturday to the party’s regular breakfast meeting. But so were the down-ticket races that Republicans worry could be up for grabs if GOP voters ditch Trump.

“We have two unlikable, some would say flawed, candidates,” said Cado, who works as a legal assistant. “But our Congressional lawmakers really know their voters.”

There was a sense of exasperation on Saturday from some of the volunteers, many of whom have been campaigning for Republican candidates for decades. They were ready for the long, brutal presidential race to be over.

“We’re all getting a little weary, aren’t we?” Cobb GOP chair Rose Wing confided to a nodding crowd, just before urging them to mobilize for one last weekend push.

Dozens of college students were expected at the office near the Marietta Square later Saturday to make calls for GOP candidates. And she told her fellow GOP activists she wants to see hundreds filing into the cramped space on Monday when U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson and Gov. Nathan Deal visit.

After all, if Republicans can’t run up the score in this heavily-conservative county, Trump is in for a long night. For Bill Hatley it’s a responsibility that weighs heavily on him.

“I’m here today, I’ll be here on Monday and I’m calling and encouraging Republican voters to back Trump,” said Hatley, a Marietta retiree. “He has to drive up a good margin in Cobb to win. We are a pace-setter for the state and we don’t take that lightly.”

Savannah

If there is one dominating feeling here as the marathon presidential race comes to a close, it’s anxiety, according to Salathia Singleton, the owner of Upscale Hair Salon.

“People don’t trust anyone who’s running. They don’t feel like it’ll be a change,” Singleton said as she straightened a client’s hair on a picturesque Saturday morning.

Singleton herself is a vocal Hillary Clinton supporter.

“She’s strong and doesn’t let people get under her skin,” she said. But Singleton said several friends of hers who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 are wary of Clinton because of the scandal over her emails and view with suspicion her once chummy relationship with Donald Trump.

African-American voters are the backbone of Georgia’s Democratic Party, and officials are counting on them to turn out in big numbers for Clinton on Tuesday.

But Singleton said she knows several people who are contemplating voting for a third party candidate or simply staying home on Election Day.

Dwayne Holmes, a barber at Holmes Barber Shop just down Abercorn Street, views himself as an independent. He said he takes Clinton’s email woes seriously and sees it as evidence that “she wants her dessert no matter what the meal.”

He plans to support Green Party nominee Jill Stein, who is an approved write-in candidate in Georgia.

“The Democratic and Republican parties are just two ends of one big table,” he said.

Both Holmes and Singleton said many are uneasy about the election, but the latter said she’s not worrying about it. Singleton pointed to her faith, which helped carry her through the recession and past presidencies she was unhappy with.

“We can make it through four years” of Trump if we have to, she said.
