Not really. Illinois was a "Republican" state in the 1980s because each presidential election then was a Republican landslide. Even during this time, Democrats had considerable rural strength in southern Illinois, which has not been true for Georgia. Georgia is more like Virginia in that one metro area votes so lopsided for Democrats that they can win statewide despite having very low vote shares in the rural areas.
