If you guys really aren't going to vote out Lester Maddox in the first round, then you need to learn some Georgia history. Smiley

For the irony factor of who is running this poll, I'll vote Barnes.

Well, you're native Georgian, I'm not. All my knowledge comes from sources and I've never been to Georgia. From what I read, Maddox as Governor, despite never, ever renouncing his racist positions, actually took pretty progressive approach to the issue.

Miller

Well, I wanted to make a survivor, and this is the only topic I felt like I had the most knowledge over. Smiley
