Today marks the start of early voting in parts of Banks, Stephens, and Habersham counties, where for the third time, there will be an election for the District 28 seat in the Georgia House of Representatives. The results of two elections last year—both won by former Banks County School Superintendent Chris Erwin—were thrown out by Athens Judge David Sweat following complaints of votes that were improperly cast, complaints from the incumbent who represented the District, Banks County Republican Dan Gasaway. The early voting continues through Friday April 5; election day itself is Tuesday April 9.
Today is election eve in Jackson, Barrow, Elbert, and Hart counties, where voters go to the polls on Tuesday to settle school bond and sales tax referendums. Gwinnett County voters will decide tomorrow a controversial proposal to expand MARTA into Gwinnett.
