What? Georgia spends multi millions for new fraud free election equipment and then, when their Republican candidates dont win, they spend millions more for a hand count. Change was made to avoid human error.
Ga House of Reps sink to partisan sniping rather than finding ways to pay for healthcare, education, and justice for all
ajc laments hospital closings while ignoring available federal dollars helping other states https://t.co/gCSKjwDtLz
Impressive rally as viewed from the Chamber of the Georgia House. Signs asking to End Racism https://t.co/WcFaceBxcG
How is it possible for a Senator from a state with 4.5 million people to control all legislation in a country of over 300 million?!? We need to check this one mans power by electing two new Senators from Georgia. End the McConnell blockade.

Bad math and politics also coalesce in the decision by Gov to refuse $9 (federal)for every $1 (state) to help pay struggling hospitals and doctors. Medicaid expansion.
Today we vote on a budget cutting services for anguished Georgians needing help. Recognizing the need for mental health services is good but rejecting the available federal dollars to help them makes no sense. Time for a change in Georgia.
