One of my favorite football sayings sums this up. "The person who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely the one who fumbled it." (Lou Holtz) #gapol

This is absolutely bonkers. Georgia's two Republican U.S. Senators are calling on the Republican Secretary of State to resign because they believe - without evidence - that he "failed to deliver honest and transparent elections." #gapol

The President’s suggestion of delaying the election on the day we lay John Lewis to rest is the most despicable affront to his memory & legacy. Americans will rise up & continue John's fight for unfettered access to the ballot box. Our voices will not be silenced.

Nikki Haley today tweeted she is "Proud of the selfless leadership (Trump) has shown in cancelling the convention." Maybe it's time to give Ambassador Haley a cognitive test?

We must have uniform statewide measures to slow the spread of #Covid19. When the surge hits our hospitals, such measures will be too late. Many local governments are filling the vacuum, but many are not. Alabama, NC, and SC have acted. It's time Georgia. #gapol – at Georgia, USA
