BRACK: Here’s a way to eliminate run-off elections and let majority rule

BRACK: Here’s a way to eliminate run-off elections and let majority rule

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | The requirement that winning political candidates have a majority of the votes causes problems.

The first problem is that there must be a run-off between the top two candidates if no one wins a majority in the election.

BRACK: Voters on both sides lament “What to do?” in presidential race

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | If I have heard this once, I have heard it a dozen times this political year. It continues, here two months before the presidential election.

“I just don’t know what I’m going to do in the presidential election.”

It sometimes comes from Republicans. At other times, it comes from people who would normally vote Democratic.

BRACK: Lots of voters just not happy with either political party candidates

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Over and over in recent days, people are telling me: “I just don’t have a candidate for president. I don’t like either party’s nominees. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I might not vote.”

BRACK: Brexit was, after all, not a binding vote; New possibilities?

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Virtually overlooked in the hullabaloo of Britain leaving the European Union is the fact that it’s not yet a done deal. After all the referendum was not binding. While a 52-48 split is pretty substantial, it was not a binding referendum.

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | When elections roll around, GwinnettForum seeks to make sense out of all the campaigning, by giving readers our recommendations in the primaries.

This task is one we do not take lightly. After talking to this year’s candidates, we feel that our choice will make the best nominee in the May 24 primary.

BRACK: Big relief felt in E-SPLOST vote despite small turnout

By Elliott Brack | Relief!

That’s what Gwinnett Countians should be feeling as the results of the 2015 E-SPLOST voting were announced. A small minority of the voters (only 7.09 percent, a record low) of Gwinnett thought enough of their county and the school system to go out and approve a one cent continuation of sales taxes for school purposes. That’s an awfully low number voting.
