A source sends word that the Georgia Supreme Court will hear arguments in the Jim Powell residency kerfuffle on Monday, Oct. 20 at 10 a.m.
Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel started fighting Powell — the Democratic nominee for the Public Service Commission's Northern District — shortly before the primary. Even with that cloud hanging over the race, Powell still walked away with 85 percent of the vote. The nominee's had a tough time raising funds and campaigning because of the legal challenges, but he's pushed on regardless. (To read CL's coverage, click here.) No telling if the justices will issue a ruling before the Nov. 4 General Election.
Powell faces Republican nominee Lauren "Bubba" McDonald and Libertarian Party nominee Brandon Givens.
