The Gainesville (Georgia) Times has this story about HB 58, the bill to ease ballot access for U.S. House, legislature, and partisan county office. There have been many bills to improve Georgia ballot access over the last 28 years, all of which have failed to pass. But during those 28 years, the Georgia newspapers have consistently failed to mention such bills. It is somewhat encouraging that HB 58 has now been covered in four Georgia news sources, including the one in the “Update” below.

UPDATE: here is another story.
