Hello again.
So, the news hit today (somewhat surprisingly to this writer), that current GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has actually decided to run for Governor of Georgia.
He'd previously put out feelers but many had figured he wouldn't actually do it.
After all, his political capital in our great state doesn't seem to be overly strong.
Trump hates him, by all accounts, and two state heavyweights - Burt Jones, current Lt. Governor & Chris Carr, current AG - have already announced & declared for this race.
So the question is begged - why would B-Rad do this?
Well, in my humble estimation, it's the same reasoning as behind his original run for the Holder & Custodian of the Great Seal of Georgia (Secretary of State) back in 2018:
spend a shit-ton of money & run in a crowded field where you might make a runoff. Then, w/ enough money, you might just steal the damn thing...

For those who know, that's exactly what he did seven years ago.
Again, he doesn't seem to have the ability to do this. Obviously, Trump hates him. An extreme majority of the GA GOP despises him; however, never doubt the ability of money combined w/ a crowded field.
Again, that's exactly what happened in 2018. Just ask the current Chairman of the GA GOP.
Homeslice bought that office.
Spent a shit-ton of money w/ the aim of making it to a runoff (paying big money to landowners on major thoroughfares to put up signs plus a whole bunch of other stuff).
And as those who know, in a runoff - all bets are off.
It's all about turnout (read: $$$).
W/ Carr & Jones running, he knows he just has to spend enough money to finish second in the primary (Jones will be first). Then he's hoping if he does finish second, he'll be able to get enough of the Carr votes to possibly win the runoff (w/ enough of that $$$).
Not saying I'm right on this, but...
So, Trump's archnemesis will not be running for a third term for Secretary of State (SOS).
Therefore, that means that Tim Fleming is definitely running for SOS.
So...
that means that GA HD 114 is
W I D E O P E N
DEVELOPING...
