The Barrow Journal of Winder, Georgia, has this editorial, which criticizes Virginia’s gubernatorial debate sponsors for excluding Rob Sarvis from all gubernatorial debates. By contrast, Georgia gubernatorial debates in each of the last three elections have included all three ballot-listed candidates on the ballot. The editorial does not mention Georgia’s better record on debates, perhaps because the editor assumed his readers already remember that Georgia’s debates have been inclusive.
Thanks for exposing WDBJ7 the sponsors of the debate. How shameful the exclusion of Robert Sarvis. The people in Virginia are sick about it.
I wholeheartedly agree. Sarvis has demonstrated a monumental platform and earned a dedicated set of followers, representing at least 10% of the state. It appears as though backroom deals have been struck to keep him out of the debate.
