Dick,
Not to get too deep into semantics but Bo did win the popular vote in 1966. The Democratic legislature elected the 2nd place finisher. So when I said popularly elected I believe that is accurate, while true that he was never seated as Governor due to the law on the books at the time.
As always, thanks for your fair coverage.
Regards,
Josh
As reported in the previous post, you’ll see that what Josh said in his press release was, “It is an honor to have the support of the first popularly elected Republican Governor of Georgia after Reconstruction.”
