Georgia Twitter erupted this Sunday when Donald Trump tweeted that he’s heading down to Georgia on January 4, 2021, for a rally in Dalton. When the president of the United States holds a political rally in a town of 33,000 people, he’s either lost or desperate. Considering that his lawsuits all look about like a house of cards after a category five hurricane, my money’s on desperate.

For Senators Loeffler and Perdue, sharing a stage with Trump the day before the election is also one heck of a risk. Earlier this month, they hosted his only post-election rally to-date in…

When Georgia polls opened on December 14, every political rubbernecker in the country held their breath. Conventional wisdom enforced by sixty-four years of Georgia runoffs suggested a low turnout election. High propensity voters — the folks who vote rain or shine in every election — would choose Georgia’s senators. In Georgia, these voters are older whites and currently trend Republican.

Then Richmond County shattered expectations along with the single-day early voting record they set during the November 2020 election. At 57.7% black, Richmond County, better known as Augusta, Georgia, is a minority-majority city. In November 2020, Biden won it with…

When Ronna McDaniel opened her mouth at a rally for Georgia’s Republican senate candidates, David Perdue magically gained 11,902 votes. That’s about the same as Biden’s recertified winning margin here in Georgia. Perdue now finds himself in a quandary. By lying about his performance, McDaniel and other Republican surrogates are likely inflating expectations ahead of the runoff.

At first glance, this is not a significant problem. In the General Election, Perdue won 88,098 votes more than Jon Ossoff. However, given the 2020 General Election’s tight margins, we all expect the January senate runoffs will be squeakers. …

Georgia Republicans have officially gone around the bend or, as my granny used to say, “stark raving mad.” A month ago, Emperor Trump was running buck naked down Pennsylvania Avenue while his sycophants raved about his “amazing” winning threads on Fox News. Now, rather than do the decent thing and throw a blanket over the fool, Georgia Republicans are staging their own metaphorical strip show.

As I write this, the great state of Georgia is down to its last four mostly sane senior Republican elected officials — Governor Kemp, Lieutenant Governor Duncan, Secretary of State Raffensberger, and Attorney General Carr…

Never forget that you are not your audience. The other day, I handed my daddy a rough draft of an article entitled How News Broadcasters Spread Election Misinformation During the…

On December 1, 2020, Gabriel Sterling stunned the country when he marched up to a podium and announced that someone “put out a noose” bearing the name of a Gwinnett County election contractor. This was not an isolated incident. Georgia’s Secretary of State, an election supervisor at the State Farm Arena, and election workers had all received death threats. Apparently, they all committed a horrifying crime — counting, the same skill I learned from my momma at the kitchen table with a box of Cheerios.

Like many Georgians, I was stunned. We all knew tempers were running hot across the…

Dear Chief Justice Roberts,

We applaud your court’s stance on originalism and preserving the original intent of our founding fathers. After reviewing your current circumstances, Congress concluded that we had not offered you the support your current position warrants. Therefore, we have reinstated the relevant portions of the Compensation Act of 1789 and substantially revised your budget request. After all, the Constitution grants Congress the power of the purse and the Executive branch control over the military. The founding fathers intentionally left the Judiciary as our weakest branch. Therefore, you rely on the authority provided by your good reputation. Hypocrisy…
