Loyalty and power in Georgia politics under Governor Arnall
The piece contrasts Governor Arnall’s party driven rules with the rights of the people to choose their judges and electors. It argues the Democratic Executive Committee overstepped by naming Judge Dukes as nominee and denying candidate access, urging open elections and restoration of home rule amid concerns of demagoguery and constitutional rights. The article cites cases in Georgia and Texas to illustrate divergent paths.
