Group asks Buckner to withdraw
The group Voter GA has called on Gail Buckner (D) to drop out of the race for Secretary of State. Voter GA states that "Rep. Buckner is the only legislator in the General Assembly who is on record as opposing all four 2006 statewide vote count audit measures."
Voter GA says that Bucker:
- Voted against Rep. Karla Drenner’s SB500 amendment to restore statewide audit trails that were stripped from the pilot bill by author, Bill Stephens.
- Voted against the SB500 House committee substitute bill that provided election night audit procedures for the audit trail pilot.
- Opposed the bi-partisan HB790 vote count verification act in committee.
- Ridiculed the bi-partisan SB591 precinct vote count bill during the debates.

And we could expect anything different from a liberal Democrat? If there is accountability too cemetery dwellers will be disenfranchised.
This is the same person who so favored wasting taxpayer dollars for a commuter train in Clayton County -- for the sake of "tourism."

Buckner has fliped on two of the major issues for the SoS. The first you have exposed. The second is voterid. She voted against both voterid bills, and now is claiming to be for it.
