VoterGA Questions Tammy Adkins Showing in Supreme Court Race
VoterGA is questioning how a Georgia Supreme Court Justice candidate could’ve ended up in a run-off despite barely campaigning, comparing the situation of Alvin Greene’s victory in the Democratic Primary in South Carolina this year.
“In that case, statewide unverifiable voting equipment recorded Alvin Greene as a near landslide 60-40% winner over Vic Rawl, who actually won the tangible absentee ballot count by a 55-45% margin. Vic Rawl ran an extensive campaign while Alvin Greene had no web site and literally no campaign,” VoterGA said.
“In the November 2010, non-partisan, Georgia Supreme Court election, Tammy Adkins won a run-off spot against incumbent David Nahmias by garnering 36% of the vote compared to 48% for the incumbent and 16% for the primary challenger, Matt Wilson. That may sound normal until realizing that the run-off challenger was a virtual recluse.”
“Tammy Adkins, a family lawyer, did not campaign, did not have a web site, did not accept donations, did not respond to surveys, did not advertise, had no published profile, did not register phone or Email contact data and refused all media requests. Despite running for another judgeship two years ago, she was unknown among politically active voters including those in her Lawrenceville hometown. Georgians had no way to even see her picture. But the voting machines and optical scanners still recorded 733,770 votes for her, over seven times the number recorded for Alvin Greene.”
“By contrast, Matt Wilson, a 35 year civil litigator based in a high profile, Buckhead location, made radio and TV appearances, accepted many speaking engagements, established a platform of judicial philosophy, received endorsements and support across the political spectrum, performed minority outreach, sent out 6 million Emails, recruited dozens of volunteers, erected numerous yard signs, had hundreds of Facebook and Twitter friends and publicly engaged the incumbent on his track record in the media.”
VoterGA says the uncertainty around this election is just another reason to stop using an unverifible, unauditable voting system in the State of Georgia.
Meanwhile, there is no love lost between VoterGA and the leading candidate, David Nahmias. They criticize Nahmias for failing to consider an appeal of VoterGA’s lawsuit challenging unverifiable, unauditable E-voting in the State of Georgia. Now he seems to be benefiting from that system that he defended and wouldn’t dare to question.
