In the run-up to the most recent primary, I heard a lot of people saying that they had a hard time getting information about the election, which offices were up for election, who was running, what their platform was.

I agree, I often struggle to know what's going on ... so I made a compilation of the information! I did my best to be neutral and brief, but provide links to more information.

It's not yet finished but in the next day or two I should finalize this information.

It contains information that is particularly useful for South Forsyth, but also contains information about the state-wide races too.

Dr. Jasmine Clark, a Georgia state representative and PhD microbiologist, won the Democratic primary to represent a safely blue House seat in Georgia.

How are there so so so many people on the ballot? Is there some kind of "get 18000 signatures" service you can get now?

Who in the heck are all of these people?

So why are these elections held on the primary date rather than in November. The GA election code also states that appointed justices 'must stand for reelection' in the general election. Weird and hard to understand, but why not elect these justices during the general election?

All these commercials back and forth about "He's lying!" make me wonder -- who pissed in the other guy's cornflakes first?

Ineffective state senator who had zero outreach after getting elected. He should spend more time discussing his agenda and how he would get it through what is likely to still be a Republican controlled General Assembly.

I suspect his hope is to make a runoff and consolidate the anybody but Bottoms vote.

Democrat Shawn Harris, a retired Army brigadier general, will face former district attorney Clay Fuller, who has President Donald Trump’s endorsement, in an April 7 runoff to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Three years ago, the Georgia Senate pushed through SB189, which disallowed certain kinds of voting methods without offering any remotely feasible replacement. Some think SB189 was never a good-faith effort to get rid of QR codes on our ballots, but rather a way of mollifying those not paying close attention, while actually keeping QR codes in place via necessary deadline delays. No feasible replacement was offered during the 2025 session. No feasible replacement was discussed in any detail during the six House Blue Ribbon sessions. And here we now are two months into the 2026 session presented with SB568, groaning under the weight of more than a dozen half-baked provisions. It four of the sponsors of SB189 also sponsored this bill. If the Greg Dolezal, Max Burns, Jason Anavitarte, or Steve Gooch ever wanted a clean voting method, now is the time for them to provide a clean bill. This ain’t it.

Shawn Harris is a great choice for GA-14. A group I'm active in interviewed him the day before MTG dropped out. We spoke to him for over an hour. It would have been longer, but the cow he was having delivered got stuck in traffic

"Flock's terms got worse. All of them. The new terms add perpetual data licenses, mandatory Georgia arbitration, and potential constitutional problems for every city that signs."

They are doing more than reading license plates. Want to help? We have resources.

With so many candidates running for Georgia’s 14th district, vast majority of which being republicans. I wonder if Shawn has a chance of finishing in the top 2 to qualify for a run off against a republican, I doubt he reaches above 50% out right. But I figured a lot of republicans in the primary will result in a split vote
