Brian Kemp’s incompetence knows no bounds

As secretary of state, Brian Kemp has been a massive failure. In the past few weeks alone, three new problems have cropped up, only adding to the long list of errors Kemp is accountable for. Here are three more ways that Kemp’s incompetence is affecting our elections in Georgia: Since 2004, voter registration applications have had incorrect, misleading language on them. These forms are still in use, and, according to his office, will not be

Disastrous candidates Cagle and Kemp head for runoff

After failing to win the majority of the vote in the primary, candidates Casey Cagle and Brian Kemp are headed for a Republican runoff in July that analysts say is “likely to be both an expensive and nasty campaign.” So far, Kemp and Cagle have already been leading nasty, extremist and backwards campaigns. Kemp aired an anti-immigration ad that parrots Trump and spewed his xenophobic, hateful rhetoric on a bus tour across the state. “These people

Georgia is sick of gun “jokes,” ready for legislation

Competition for Georgia’s top political positions is starting to reveal just how out of touch GOP candidates really are about gun control. While a new poll shows that Georgians of all political stripes are increasingly in favor of tightening gun laws and regulations, a gubernatorial candidate can be seen pointing his gun at a minor in a vile TV ad and one candidate for lieutenant governor has challenged another to a shootout. Incompetent failure Brian

Georgia’s “exact match” name laws target minority voters

Georgia’s “exact match” name laws disproportionately affect minorities, who are refused their right to vote because of a backwards conservative “solution” to a problem that doesn’t exist. With incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent, “voter fraud” is a debunked conservative myth. The “exact match” laws put registered voters on a “pending registration” list if the name on their registration doesn’t exactly match the name on their license, including hyphens, apostrophes and spaces. In

GOP gov. candidates parrot Trump’s lies about immigration and crime

Trump infamously slithered into the White House by building support for his presidential campaign in part by using xenophobic slurs particularly those against Mexican immigrants. “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists,” he claimed. While we know these statements are simply false, Georgia’s conservative gubernatorial candidates in Georgia haven’t gotten the message. Or, more likely, they just don’t care about the truth. They’re still spewing Trump’s bogus, backwards anti-immigration sentiments, regardless of the story

Race to GOP primaries becoming race to bottom

Yikes! The Republican gubernatorial hopefuls are on a fast-paced race to the bottom. A (somewhat interchangeable) group of white men have been desperately trying to reassure the public that they are, in fact, the MOST racist, MOST anti-abortion, MOST anti-immigrant candidate of the whole lot. Where to begin in listing off the litany of disturbing choices these candidates have made? To start with, all of the top GOP candidates have made public pledges to support
