Gov., SOS set June 19th date for Special Election - or have they?

I guess the Governor and Secretary of State can ignore state law when setting a special election date. We have been led to believe that the Governor had 10 days after the death of 10th district Congressman Dr. Charlie Norwood to choose an election date that had to come some 30 days after that. Well the last part of the calendar has been swept under the rug so that announced GOP candidates Ralph Hudgers and John Whitehead don't have to resign their seats during this term of the General Assembly in Atlanta. 30 days from today would be March 23, but again, the Republicans have a way of avoiding the law and paying not attention to precedent when they find it convenient. Terry Holley will run and perhaps the extra time will give him more of a chance. According to Tim Bryant right now, Governor has not set the date yet. AJC reporters quoted Hudgens and the Georgia News Network reported it as fact, which has yet to happen, according to Newstalk 1340 WGAU AM. Hudgens wants to serve out his term and told the Political Insiders or some blog about it, and GNN was lazy.

Dr. Paul Broun, Jr. and former NFL football player, Charlie Maddox backer and pay day loan specialist Willie Green want to further split the diminishing Athens area GOP vote. Broun will do well with old school Oconee County residents due to his father's impact on the area and his name on the Loop around Athens.
