	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Lieutenant Governor
		Before 1945 state senators chose the president of the senate, who then became the governor if a vacancy occurred in that office.
		Thompson eventually became the acting governor after the Georgia Supreme Court determined that he should be the chief executive after the death of Governor Eugene Talmadge.
		This role prevailed until the Republican Party—holding both the governorship and the senate majority for the first time since Reconstruction—in 2003 stripped the Democratic lieutenant governor of most of his power in the senate, instead giving control over committee chairmanships and major legislation to the Republican senate pro tempore.

	GEORGIA V. ASHCROFT
		Georgia’s 1997 State Senate districting plan is the benchmark plan for this litigation.
		The Senator who chaired the subcommittee that developed the new plan testified he believed that as a district’s fl voting age population increased beyond what was necessary to elect a candidate, it would push the Senate more toward the Republicans, and correspondingly diminish the power of African-Americans overall.
		In the face of Georgia’s evidence of nonretrogression, the United States’; only evidence was that it would be more difficult for minority voters to elect their candidate of choice in Districts 2, 12, and 26.

	Georgia Right To Life: Legislation
		The current law in Georgia requires a parent or guardian to accompany a minor presented for an abortion or to be the person notified of the pending abortion.
		Georgia's current abortion law enacted in 1876, which allowed abortion to save the life of the mother, was seen by most "progressives" as "hopelessly outdated." It was obvious to Democrat Representative Richard Starnes of Rome that a liberalized abortion law was much needed.
		Starnes was also influenced by the growing feminist and population control movements of the late '60's and longed for Georgia to receive favorable national attention by becoming the first state to pass liberalized abortion laws.

		And although the Senate version would give the commission a longer window for deciding the issue -- 120 days instead of 90 -- the time period would be far shorter than that used when considering electric utility requests to spend ratepayer money on capital expansions.
