Georgia Democrats fix August primary and state convention dates
Georgia Democratic leaders set August 19 as the primary date to choose two U.S. senators and state officials, with a September 1 convention in Macon. The unit plan and voting rules are approved, with candidates paying assessments and rule decisions on who votes and how winners are determined. Senator West declines a run for Bacon’s seat, and Governor Slaton announces his candidacy for the unexpired term.
