GA strips party labels only in the blue counties

Link to tweet

Georgia's gov signs a comically transparent law.

It makes local elections in 5 big blue counties nonpartisan, for GOP candidates to have chance to win without a party label.

It doesn't change anything elsewhere, for red county-voters to know who's R.

I suppose they think there will be no repercussions to all these partisan games. Fair and square has no meaning to them any longer.
