On April 20, the Georgia Senate passed HB 487, which moves the presidential primary from March to February 5. The primary for other office would remain in August. Since the Governor is expected to sign the bill, Georgia will probably be the fourth state this year to have moved its presidential primary to February (the others, where the move has already been signed into law, are California, New Jersey, and New York). Bills to do the same are pending in many other states. Thanks to Tony Roza for this news.
