We have just renewed the domain name. Look for future improvements in the next month or so. Please be patient as we create a new look and experience for you. We will be trying to move the board so we can improve functionality and have a way for local ads,

Some have been asking about how people are put on this board. Apparently the 3 parties select the members. If they fail to appoint let's say they can't have a quorum at a regularly scheduled and advertised meeting than the probate judge gets to appoint. Here is the link so you can read the enabliing legislation your self: http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en- ... tion=16122

I bet this would apply to anyone who has served as a precinct chair, sec or treasurer as they are full voting members of the party.
and here is the kicker that should be interesting:
Quote:
If any appointing authority does not, in conformity with this Act, certify an appointment to 37 the board within 30 days after the beginning of a term of office or within 30 days after the creation of a vacancy in that office, a vacancy shall be deemed to have been thereby created 2 and the judge of the probate court of Dade County shall fill that vacancy by making the 3 appointment thereto and shall certify it as provided in this section. Any person appointed to 4 fill a vacancy shall serve out the unexpired term of office.
So it looks like the probate Judge appoints if the party fails to fill a vacancy.
