Iβm not a politician. Iβm not a pundit. Iβm a guy who downloaded a sample ballot, sat down with some friends, did the research, and is sharing what we found. You donβt have to take every single one of my suggestions. *But Iβm asking you β print this or something like it, do your own homework if you disagree, and for the love of everything this country stands for β show up on May 19th.* The primaries are where conservatives lose because we donβt show up. Donβt let that happen this time. β π *Conservative Voting Scorecards sourced from gascores.com (Freedom Caucus Scorecard)* β πThis is an independent voter guide created by a private citizen based on personal research and conservative values. β πPrint this. Share this. Vote on May 19, 2026. π¨ Printed guides are welcome in the Georgia voting booth. Your phone is not. Plan accordingly. Dean Burnette, Grateful USA Citizen πΊπΈ Politics
