-NC is a swing state, GA is mostly not, and hasn't been treated as such in most recent elections.
-GA is more Black. Although Black voters have tended to vote at similar rates to White voters in recent elections, any slight turnout difference will matter since GA is around 10% more African-American.
-GA has voter ID, NC hasn't for most elections in the recent past.

Anecdotally, I know NC is also a state where early voting has historically been heavily utilized, boosting turnout--but I don't know enough about Georgia, might be true there too.
