Georgia GOP Runoff Fallout: Rick Jackson Wins, Mike Collins, SB 189 & Redistricting

Georgia’s Republican primary runoffs are over, but the political consequences are only beginning. Scot Turner and Buzz Brockway break down Rick Jackson’s win in the Georgia governor’s race, what Brian Kemp’s late endorsement of Burt Jones did to the final vote, and why the Georgia Republican Party now has some work to do before November. They also look at Mike Collins’s Senate victory, Donald Trump’s endorsement, Greg Dolezal, Tim Fleming, and what the new Republican ticket means for Jon Ossoff, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and the statewide races ahead. Then, the conversation turns to the Georgia General Assembly’s special session: SB 189, the QR-code voting deadline, election administration, and why redistricting did not become part of the agenda. Finally, Scot makes the case that Georgia’s runoff system encourages expensive, divisive campaigns and explains why ranked-choice voting would change the incentives for candidates and voters alike.
