Georgia Republicans are gathering Friday and Saturday at Jekyll Island for an unprecedented state GOP convention.
Many of the most committed Republican activists are meeting from around Georgia to hear from candidates and speakers who continue to echo concerns about election fraud.
The party activists will also pick the next state chair.
The favorite for the position is current Chair David Shafer — despite the fact that he ran the party during its biggest defeats in decades. Without sound evidence, Shafer continues to question the accuracy of the 2020 election results. He has also secured an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.
Challenging Shafer is Jason Shepherd, who leads the Cobb County GOP in Atlanta’s more moderate suburbs.
