BRACK: Slight possibility Georgia’s political season could extend to December

By Elliott Brack  | Competitive election races may stir interest in politics, but you can also bet that it can also turn off people — with the continued barrage of political advertising, some of it hard-hitting. They may end up voting while pinching their nose.

BRACK: Florida’s Aug. 28 primary progressing similarly to Georgia’s

AUG. 10, 2018  |  The primary in the state of Florida will be held August 28. A situation there has developed similarly to what happened in Georgia.

Republican Adam Putnam, the state agricultural commissioner for eight years, announced early that he would run for governor, and was the odds-on early favorite and establishment candidate, it appeared.

BRACK: Congratulations to the only 3 people who so far have been elected

By Elliott Brack |   Though Gwinnett residents may be tired of all the 2018 politicking, the November election is still before us.  It’s not over yet, since so far we have mostly nominated political candidates for the General Election more than three months away.

There’s been much hullabaloo in the recent primary and its runoff, but so far locally the only persons to be elected who had competition are three new Gwinnett Judges.

Even registered voters who did not vote in the May primary are eligible to vote in the runoff. However, if you voted in the primary, you must vote in the same party’s runoff on July 24.
