BRACK: Though a year away, 2022 political season has begun

By Elliott Brack |  Though we are a year away, the 2022 political season saw its practical start when Gov. Brian Kemp put forth recently he would seek an endorsement term as the state’s chief executive officer. So for the next 12 months, watch out: political blowhards will be busy positioning themselves to look as good as they can at all times to the voters. Just remember: what you see in them may not be what you’ll get.

BRACK: Recall elections: a safeguard that is difficult to pull off

By Elliott Brack  |  The Constitution of the State of Georgia has certain provisions in it that give protection to those of us who elect public officials. When someone is elected to office, but begins to stir trouble, or acts untoward in that office, the Constitution says that these people may be voted out of office through a “recall” election.

BRACK: 3 key issues will come before Georgia legislature this year

By Elliott Brack  |  Look out for at least three big issues to come before the Georgia Legislature this year.

The most important issue will be the reapportioning of the U.S. House of Representatives, and also both the Georgia Senate and House. That’s why this years’ Legislature will have more sway over our state than do most year’s terms as it determines voting districts. In effect, the Republican Party will have super influence for the next 10 years since the GOP will control how district lines are drawn.
