Note: Experiences with the caucus system and the county assembly have given ample grounds to regard the caucus system in Elbert County as broken.  Hopefully, through video coverage of candidate speeches, the public–not just delegates–will see the relative qualities of the various candidates aspiring to move forward in the electoral process at the county assembly next week, and everyone will have a means to assess the quality of representation the delegates elected at county caucuses provide to Republicans.  Of course, we’ll have to see how the horse trading at the county assembly shakes out in order to fully assess delegate performance, but times were such that the process desperately needed transparency, and that’s what motivates this publication.
