Jackson vs. Bottoms, Jon Ossoff, Mike Collins & Chatham Elections

Georgia’s 2026 campaigns are starting to get real attention, and Scot and Buzz break down where things stand. This week: the massive advertising gap between Rick Jackson and Keisha Lance Bottoms, Jon Ossoff’s multimillion-dollar investment in the Democratic Party of Georgia, and what it says about the organization of the two parties heading into November. They also discuss former Mike Collins staffer Jessica Hayes receiving national recognition, new questions surrounding the Chatham County elections office, Mitchell Horner’s growing push for local government accountability, and new Georgia Tech research on the economic impact of data centers. Plus, Scot unveils his experiment to build a college football ranking system from scratch, with no preseason rankings, recruiting rankings, conference prestige, or previous-season assumptions.
