None of the candidates were "elected" by a majority of the registered voters, but a tiny minority of them. This is a sham election differing little from the former Soviet Union or Nazi, Germany decades ago. It must be declared illegal by a federal court and the so called U.S. department of Justice.
It was a meaningless sham election violating the most basic principles of democracy this country was founded on. Shame, shame, shame on those lawmakers who wrote the sham voting law in Georgia, and shame on the courts that enforce these sham laws which promote minority, elitist rule in the place of true majority rule of the majority of the registered voters. Thousands of registered voters who chose abstention have been totally prejudically disenfranchised in favor of the elitist minority who voted "for" or "against", while 3,406 registered voters were totally prevented from voting for the Magistrate's court judge which might have to hear the cases of Republicans too! AThens citizens obviously love to be fooled. NOtice how silent "professor" Bullock is about these vital issues. Why don't you ask him some important questions for a change, rather than the trivials ones asked? Let's stop hearing his meaningless opinion about trivial issues.
