I just want to make sure everyone knows Georgia's Secretary of State race went to a Dec. 4th runoff between John Barrow (D) and Brad Raffensperger (R).

This is the election to elect Brian Kemp's successor. So it should be obvious how important position is for voting rights.

1. Not sexy race though. Doubt Barrow wins unless Gov race on runoff ballot.

2. Auto repair isn't sexy but it's essential.

5. Stop with the despair. Organize. Canvass. Call. Vote.

7. This is the problem with our party

We obsess over superstars like Beto while we leave the levers of running elections to Republicans because these races aren’t “sexy”.

3. hopefully Stacy will get behind this and tell people how important it is. THey know how much fraud

was perpetrated by Kemp and the Rs.

6. Is her race still being counted? Be nice if both races were runoffs

10. Yes. Recount is ongoing. Dec 4 is the runoff date.

We’ll be going door to door to GOTV for Democrats.

4. John Barrow was a commissioner in Athens prior to being our Congressman.

He’s a Harvard Law graduate and a native Athenian.
He’d make a fine SoS.

Back in the 1990s, I watched election returns on TV with John Barrow and other Athens Democrats at John’s home.

8. what does limbaugh say?

Sounds like he's qualified, but what does Limbaugh & Fox say? If they start spewing about him, it means he's likely to clean out some rats' nests and run free and fair elections.

9. The GA GOP and national GOP hate John Barrow.

They immediately redistricted and gerrymandered congressional districts in order to get him out of office. Athens is blue, so they split us in two and put each half with majority rural, red, wingnut areas. We ended up with nutcase Paul Broun Jr. as our congressman at one point.

John Barrow is from an old and prominent Athens, GA family. His father was a judge for many, many years. There are schools and streets with the Barrow name here in Athens.

11. that is high endorsement

Any Dem who sparks GOP gerrymandering deserves to be elected in a landslide.
