Update:

As of today, February 13th, there are still NO Dem-aligned candidates for the 3 Georgia State Supreme Court elections on May 19th.

The filing deadline is March 6th.

So why aren't any challengers filing?

See next post in the thread for a possible explanation...

"People are reluctant to run because you can be ahead and still have your election canceled. Imagine putting your families through that, taking time off, being on track to winning, and the governor can just stop you whenever he feels like it.”

In my opinion, we need to find candidates who say 'screw it' and run anyway.

Force Brian Kemp to make his sneaky moves, and then increase the importance of electing a Democratic Governor in Georgia this November.

Make it an issue!
