Kemp signs bill scrapping partisan local elections
Georgia governor just nuked partisan elections for DA, county commission and other local races in Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb and Clayton counties starting 2028.
This is a quiet demolition job. Strip the party affiliation from the ballot and you kill the get-out-the-vote machinery that moves suburban voters in midterms. Republicans lose reliable turnout. Democrats lose clarity on which candidates align with their actual interests.
Kemp's playing 4D chess with something that sounds procedurally neutral but operates as a tactical nuclear weapon on candidate recruitment, donor messaging, and voter mobilization.
