party committee,” said Dr. Kerwin Swint, professor of political science and interim
chair of the Department of Political Science and International Affairs at Kennesaw
State University. “The purpose of these primary election ballot questions is to gauge

interested in pursuing. It can also be used to build support and momentum for policies
the party is pushing.” …
