Georgia will be mostly blue in 10 years. I think it has been posted here before, but one of the many reasons this is an important gubernatorial election is that demographic shift. If we can get Jason Carter in there, we can accelerate by a decade the inevitable shift to purple/blue and help insure that the next redistricting is fair.

The republicans are not going down without a fight. The BS SOS Kemp (R) is pulling with regard to voter registrations is just one item. Fortunately the blue counties are fighting back, opening up Sunday voting in their districts (for those not living here, you should have seen the steam coming out of the ears of the rethugs when they realized it was going to be easier for those who have to work for a living to vote).
