Over all, what can i complain about? Looks like the state LP needs to get it in gear and establish some LP affiliates in quite a few counties that currently do not have one. Lots of work to do!

  1. I have to take the hit on Calhoun probably. That's in my neck of the woods. Sorry Shane. We'll do better next time ;)

  2. Nonsense Tom, Looks like we're about a 1% party in Calhoun County. I don't think I've ever been there before. Just a matter of shifting our focus to building our brand and growing some affiliates in parts of Georgia that don't know much about the Libertarian option. And yes, we will do better next time.
