FOCUS: Is the United States moving toward autocracy?

By John Titus |  Increasingly, I am concerned by the challenges facing our nation in the coming years. Most issues are ones that are debated as to which approaches are the best – progressive or conservative. People of good will can often reach compromises which allow solutions to emerge, and progress made. The challenges to which I refer are much more fundamental and involve the norms underlying our democracy.

By Elliott Brack |  Georgians got a triple dose of  politics this week. It didn’t taste good. First came the announcement that Chief Justice David Nahmias that he would resign after 12 years on the Georgia Supreme Court. That wasn’t so unusual. But note the timing of his announcement.

BRACK: Athens professor has forward thinking ideas in Senate race

By Elliott Brack  |  The 2020 election will be unusual, in that Georgians will vote for two U.S. Senators in November. Incumbent David Perdue is running for another six year term, opposed by Democrat John Ossoff. In a distinctive second U.S. Senate race this year, there will be 21 people battling in a “jungle election” to see who will fill the remaining two years  of Sen. Johnny Isakson’s term. That means that the winner will probably immediately be running for a full six year term in 2022.
