It's an interesting gubernatorial race this year with Stacey Abrams potentially being the first black femaie Governor in the United States; and the current run off between Kemp and Cagle.

Eyes across the United States are on Georgia!

I voted Abrams too, and Riggs Amico.

How did you feel about the survey questions?

Yes, Beretta!!! Not to sound conceited, but I like that we are in the spotlight.

Well there was a question that asked about bump stocks or something to that effect. Seussie...I won't tell you no lie...I was completely ignorant to what that was. I actually looked it up expecting to find something financial related but found something on guns instead. I felt that they should be prohibited. Another one asked about saving rural hospitals and expanding medicaid. I voted that Medicaid should be expanded. I was glad to see the questions I saw.

Top story on CNN right now. Hope we don't screw it up.

Also hope Kemp gets nowhere near the Governor mansion.

Overall happy with results. Amico (Lt Gov) and Barrow (SoS) are great and have a shot. Also happy McKoon finished distant 3rd for SoS on the Republican side. That man has been obsessed with religious liberty legislation over all else and I'm glad to see him now completely out of state politics.

Didn't vote for Abrams and I'm not thrilled she won. Even though I am closer to her positions in my own views and will vote for her in Nov, she is too progressive to win the general election, so once again whoever wins the R primary will be the next governor.

Alabama showed how to do it right. If you want to win a southern state as a D you have to be a moderate.

I thought the question about redistricting was good but I wonder why they even needed it. I mean, do they use this as evidence to an argument or something? I feel like so many other states've talked about gerrymandering to the point that I would assume, for them as the minority party, that it was never a question if it -should- change but -when-?

The racial comments from local social media outlets has been very disappointing. Your political affiliations should never be a badge for rudeness, and hate.
