Georgia midterm ballots will show party affiliation, despite online warnings

Less than a month out from pivotal November 2026 elections, social media users are falsely claiming Republicans in Georgia removed candidates' party affiliation information from the swing state's midterm ballots to confuse voters. In reality, Governor Brian Kemp signed a bill to make certain local elections nonpartisan, but the legislation is not slated to take effect until 2028, faces a legal challenge, and would not affect federal races.
