This episode of "The Georgia Hour" (hosted by Brian K. Pritchard, aka BKP) on VoiceofRuralAmerica.com on Monday, December 8, 2025. It's a fast-paced, opinionated rant on Georgia politics, GOP infighting, election reforms, and some sports, with BKP's signature conservative, anti-establishment vibe aimed at rural Georgia Republicans.

Key segments and topics covered:

1. Election System Critique: No Interest in Reforms The bulk is a deep dive into why Georgia lawmakers "have no interest in cleaning up elections." BKP explains the 14th district special election process: It's a "jungle primary" (all candidates on one ballot, top two advance to runoff), which he says benefits Democrats in red districts by splitting Republican votes. He details the costs to counties (no state/federal funding), including setting up early voting, precincts for election day, and runoffs – all duplicated for specials. He criticizes electronic poll pads and voter cards for tracking votes (claiming privacy violations).

BKP advocates for reforms: End jungle primaries, close primaries to non-Republicans, switch to plurality (winner takes most votes, no runoff like Ohio), and ditch runoffs (only Georgia, Louisiana, and one other state use them). He recounts a 2020 meeting with then-Speaker David Ralston pushing these changes, but Ralston resisted, citing "independent voters." BKP calls it "BS" and "lies," arguing it keeps establishment candidates in power. He contrasts with Ohio's plurality system, which elected JD Vance in 2022 (despite a crowded field) and maintains GOP control (governor, Senate, House). He warns runoffs drain money and dilute votes.

1. Georgia GOP Internal Drama and "Brewing Storm" BKP warns of a "storm brewing" in the Georgia GOP, citing multiple scandals:
   • Ja'Quan Smith Scandal: A 19-year-old black, allegedly gay GOP assistant secretary caught in a sting operation trying to meet a 14-year-old boy. BKP questions the sting's legality (run by a new group, not police) but notes text evidence. GOP Chair Josh McKoon demanded his resignation within an hour.
   • Brad "Blueberry" Barnes Controversy: A young special advisor accused of anti-Semitic/racist remarks. Articles in the AJC (by Greg Bluestein) and others call for his removal, with RNC member Jason Thompson speaking out. BKP ties it to Debbie Dooley (calling her "Debbie Do Shit") allegedly feeding stories to the media.
   • GRA and Ethics Issues: The Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA) and its PAC face 61 violations for not filing reports; ethics commission ties them together. Links to First Liberty Building & Loan (in a $140M Ponzi scheme) and the "Albino Rhino" (Brant Frost). BKP predicts these ties will strangle the GOP.
   • Turning Point/Gen Z Ties: GOP social media handed to young Turning Point Action members, including Barnes, despite scandals. BKP shows photos of Barnes at events, reposted by GOP accounts. He calls it a "coup" against McKoon, possibly orchestrated by Dooley, Thompson, and media, to position for 2026. Claims the AJC ignores Democrat messes (e.g., post-Stacey Abrams cleanup under Charlie Bailey) while amplifying GOP chaos to help Democrats flip seats (cites recent Dem wins in runoffs, PSC seats, Roswell mayor).
