Apparently, there was a live GA SoS press conference on TV this AM. This change to combine local & state runoffs with the US Senate runoffs was just announced.
As of 12:20pm today, neither the SoS website nor the A-CC BOE websites had been updated with the decision to combine both runoffs into one runoff on January 5, 2021.
🚨 I just got off the phone with the Athens-Clarke County BOE! The SoS press conference was a complete surprise to them. Because our DA election is a special election, they may not be able to change the Dec. 1, 2020 date.
I would assume the same problem exists for the other special local & state runoff elections.
I will update y’all when I know more. Act as if you’re going to be voting for state and local candidates on Dec. 1, 2020 until we have definitive legal decisions from the affected counties.
