GA - because it's an extremely red state and always has been overwhelmingly conservative, with the exception of the Atlanta area, the Augusta area, the Savannah area and a few more. These are the liberal bastions of Georgia. Outside of those cities... RED.

FL - it was a tossup. IT WAS SOOOOOOOOO CLOSE!!!!!!! They barely eeked it out but a win is a win, I guess.
