Voters in the swing states of Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and
Colorado—among others—may be reacting to the overwhelming coverage of the
election much like little Abigael
did. Yet, voters in other states have
hardly seen a political ad yet—and won’t likely before tomorrow’s
election. But the Peach State—which is
considered solidly Republican in the presidential race—has had
a lot of talk when it comes to the election.
On tomorrow’s ballot, Georgia voters will consider Amendment
1, which would set up a special charter school authorizing commission to
approve charter schools at the state level.
The proposed constitutional amendment comes after the state Supreme
Court ruled the Commission unconstitutional last year.
The Amendment has brought out a lot of voices both in support and against the Amendment: The Georgia-state chapter of the
Parent-Teachers Association is strongly opposed to the amendment, despite the
national PTA being a strong supporter of charter schools, while Kyle Wingfield of the Atlantic Journal Constitution and
school choice advocates support the proposed measure.
When Georgia residents go to the polls tomorrow, they should
ask what will help students get a great education and expand educational
choices. And as the nation watches
whether President Obama or Governor Romney reaches the magic 270, we’ll also be
watching to see if Amendment 1 passes—as it should.
