Bludgeon and Skewer provides an update on a number of upcoming special elections taking place in Georgia:
We're currently knee deep in Libertarian Taylor Bryant's run for Georgia's 22nd State Senate seat in Augusta and the special election is happening today. This was the first of three special elections that will be held in Georgia by the end of march to select two State Senators and member of the Georgia House. These elections are exempt from my fair states draconian 1943 Jim Crow Ballot access laws and as such offer a unique opportunity for third party activism . . .
The next special election in Georgia will be for the 42nd State Senate seat in Decatur. This race would be well suited for a Green Party presence as the district has been described as "Where San Francisco meets Mayberry" by local bloggers and that is pretty accurate. The Libertarian party has a candidate in waiting and several democrats have declared as well, most notably, Jason Carter, grandson of President Jimmy Carter.
Once again, congratulations on the establishment of this new outlet for third party voices and opinions.
Thanks Tan!
