2018 Legislative Session

Why are conservatives afraid of more voters?

Yesterday, the Georgia House of Representatives passed a bill that would carve out a new city, called Eagle’s Landing, from the existing city of Stockbridge, along racial lines. The bill was amended slightly from the Senate’s version, so now it’s headed back to the Senate for another vote. So far, it seems the vote has been split on party lines — it’s clear that Republicans in the state legislature are determined to carve out a

Brian Kemp has done it again

America’s worst Secretary of State Brian Kemp has done it again. In the past year, Kemp has released 6.1 million social security numbers, allowed voters to vote in the wrong district, issued the wrong ballots in the primary election, and perpetuated the targeting and disenfranchisement minority voters. On the second-to-last-weekend before the voter registration deadline, Kemp’s lack of oversight has prevented an unknown number of potential voters to register. In a statement made yesterday, Kemp’s

Taylor Bennett could end Georgia’s conservative supermajority

In less than a month, Taylor Bennett could end the conservative supermajority in the Georgia House of Representatives by defeating J. Max Davis. On Tuesday, in what the AJC called “the most important surprise of the evening,” Democratic candidate Bennett finished first in a four-way race to replace Rep. Mike Jacobs (R) – Brookhaven. And on August 11, if former Georgia Tech QB Bennett defeats second-place finisher Davis (R), the scandal-ridden former mayor of Brookhaven, he will end the

Voter Suppression

The polls continue to show that the governor’s race between Jason Carter and Nathan Deal is locked in a dead heat and the U.S. Senate race between Michelle Nunn and David Perdue is neck-and-neck. Conservatives are seeing the news too, and now they will stop at nothing to suppressvoter rights in Georgia. Why? Conservatives know that if registered voters represent the true diversity of Georgia, they will lose. Last week, State Senator Fran Millar attacked Sunday voting at a DeKalb County mall which

Gov. Nathan Deal raises $4 million, spends $3.5 million

Georgia’s establishment politicos and conservative extremists want you to believe that Gov. Nathan Deal is unbeatable and loved across the land. They’re pointing to yesterday’s most recent financial disclosure as proof. Don’t believe them. While Gov. Deal’s campaign has roughly $4 million in the bank, he’s well behind every incumbent governor in the past 20 years at this same point in the cycle. In fact, Gov. Deal is falling far short of the fundraising pace
