BRACK: Early Democratic euphoria evaporates looking at runoff results

By Elliott Brack | DEC. 11, 2018  |  Georgia Democrats may be encouraged by their 2018 election showing, but they should not be so upbeat about any long term prospect at winning control over the state soon.

All it takes is a look at the results in the two runoff elections.

BRACK: Oh, the times have changed quite quickly in politics in Gwinnett

NOV. 9, 2018  |  Let’s take a look at the 2018 elections.

In many ways, in the still-to-be-called races, matters are going like they should.

While there still votes to be counted, those leading in races say what they should: they claim victory.  Meanwhile, the candidates who are trailing maintain that the race isn’t quite over yet, so they’re not conceding.

BRACK: We hate to predict, but statewide politics may not be over Tuesday

By Elliott Brack  | Here’s what we’ll predict: if the political polls are as accurate as the pollsters hope they will be in the 2018 election, politics in Georgia won’t be over today. We predict we’ll have a runoff in the governor’s race, and at least two other statewide races.

10/16: GwinnettForum’s 2018 endorsement issue

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | After nearly a full year of people campaigning for election in 2018, the end is near. On November 6, Georgians will vote in the General Election, picking the people to lead our nation in Congress, our state government and our local governments for the short-term future.

Despite all the rhetoric and commercials about the election, we can only hope that our voters will see through the smokescreens and innuendos, and decide for themselves which of the many candidates to support.

GwinnettForum again this year has interviewed state and local candidates—-88 so far—to learn about them so it can select the candidates most worthy of the Gwinnett voter’s choice. What follows is our endorsement of the candidates we think will best serve our area in the coming years.  It was a delight to see so many good candidates offer for office.
