We'll have to see if the Gov. and/or General Assembly try to do something when the Legislature convenes in January. I haven't heard any rumblings in that direction. GA is more purple than its neighbors. We have a former GOP Lt. Gov. (Duncan) running for Gov. as a Democrat.

I've posted before: Blue shifts in 157 of 159 Georgia counties, compared to the 2024 Presidential ballot. 22 counties flipped to blue.

Alt: a group of people are standing in a line wearing space suits with a circle on the front. These are the Thermians from the movie Galaxy Quest. They are dropping their heads in sadness and one says "oh, those poor people." They are reacting to a question about the 1960s sitcom "Gilligan's Island."

I finally was able to get the Georgia Secretary of State data into a spreadsheet and compared the 2024 Presidential race to Echols' 2025 PSC race. 157 of 159 counties had a"blue shift" even if the GOP incumbent Echols won the county. 22 counties flipped to Democratic for this race.

It might not be that significant for 2026. These were statewide special elections after a lawsuit over PSC elections was decided. Coincided with off-year municipal and county elections for mayors, city councils, etc. Need to look tomorrow at where the votes came from.

Brought me back to the Hitchhikers' Guide and Arthur Dent trying to get tea:
“So that’s it, is it?” said the Nutro-Matic when he had finished.
“Yes,” said Arthur. “That is what I want."
“You want the taste of dried leaves boiled in water?”
...
“I’m going to need some help with this one.”
