Primary Day is here! If you plan on voting today, don’t forget your face mask, water, sunscreen, hand sanitizer – and your patience. It’s… a bit of a mess out there. Here are ongoing updates from the AJC.
- Is this the year Georgia flips? Not to purple, mind you, but true blue? Cyan, cerulean, navy – pick your shade. Is 2020 the year?
- Many longtime GAGOP operatives think this may be the year, so.
- More absentee ballots than ever will be cast in this primary. And in many counties, like Gwinnett, requests for Dem ballots waaaaaaay outpace those for GOP ballots.
- The National GOP is considering Savannah for their 2020 convention.
- Savannah Mayor Van Johnson is not convinced this is a super great idea in the middle of the ongoing pandemic.
- Georgia Power has not cut off power for unpaid bills since March – but shutoffs will resume in July.
- Many citizens in Macon want to see a Confederate statue removed from the city’s downtown.
- What does it mean to “defund the police” – and what happened to the crime rate in Camden, NJ after they did what many activists today would like to see in cities across the United States?
