Georgia Runoff Election in 3 weeks

There will be another election in Georgia in three weeks time on Tuesday, December 2nd.  The US Senate race between Saxby Chambliss (R) and Jim Martin (D) was so close on November 4th that no candidate received the necessary 50% of the vote to win outright (there was a third candidate).


Georgia election law stipulates that in this case, a runoff election decides the outcome.


Although KFTC rarely has the opportunity to mobilize our members to vote outside of our state, this special timing gives us the opportunity to mobilize our 50 KFTC members who currently live in Georgia to vote and to otherwise do some small part to encourage a larger turnout in the election.


If you know anyone in Georgia, please take a moment to call them and remind them to vote on December 2nd.  Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.


People unsure of their voting locations can find them on Georgia's Secretary of State page here.
