Brian Kemp’s television ad attacking Stacey Abrams for “walking out” of an important vote is the biggest waste of money this campaign has seen.  To the untrained eye, accusing a member of taking a walk on a vote sounds menacing.  In reality, this claim is just a poor shot from a candidate struggling to find

Yesterday in Jefferson County, 40 African American senior citizens were denied a ride to the polls for the second day of early voting because of a “BBQ Becky.” In case you’re unaware of who BBQ Becky is, she is the lady who called police in Oakland, California this past May on some African American men

Does anyone else think whoever is selling the purported list of Georgia’s voters is setting the price too low? If so, you can scoop up that bargain (and 18 other states’ rolls) according to a report in ZDNet. The technology news website didn’t list the “popular hacking forum” where the information is being sold, but according

Chris Carr’s campaign for re-election as Attorney General of Georgia released its first campaign ad for the upcoming November 6 election. The ad, entitled “Public Service,” highlights “Carr’s work as Georgia’s Attorney General since November 2016” and “his longtime service to Georgia under U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson and Governor Nathan Deal.” The transcript of the

First off, mea culpa. I was out of town last weekend, returned to Atlanta on Monday in time for the Braves game, no joy in Mudville*, yadda yadda yadda… and I completely flaked on last Tuesday’s morning reads. For that, I apologize. I am, however, unrepentant about the following links: Gwinnett County election officials have

The Democrat currently running for Lieutenant Governor, Sarah Riggs Amico, managed to get through her entire primary and much of the general election without much scrutiny or publicity.
