1. Georgia's runoff for secretary of state gets nasty

Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 11/26/2018:

In the months before the general election, there was hardly a negative ad in the race for secretary of state. In the weeks before the Dec. 4 runoff, the airwaves are filled with them.

Democrat John Barrow and his allies launched a biting 30-second spot highlighting Republican Brad Raffensperger’s tax liens, which state records showed total as much as $130,000. It ends with a plea not to let him “anywhere near your tax dollars.”

A pro-Raffensperger ad, meanwhile, opens with a warning that “our elections are at risk if liberal John Barrow wins” the head-to-head matchup, then asserts the Democrat’s policies would lead to “more illegal voting than ever.”

Raffensperger's claims, of course, are bogus, designed to play on Republicans' Fear of Black & Brown. If Barrow wins, we stand a much better chance of having fair elections in Georgia.
