GREER □ POST NO. 2 HOWARD J. GREER EDITOR'S NOTE This Sample Ballot is being reproduced to assist Butts County voters in the preparation of their ballots in the General Primary of August 10th, 1976. The Official Ballot will have the same appearance, and format, as this Sample. In the right hand side of the ballot, voters will choose members of the Democratic County Executive Committee by Districts. That is, voters in Iron Springs will vote only for Ruth B. Greer and Howard J. Greer as shown on the Sample Ballot. Voters in Jackson District will vote for their slate of executive committee members, as will those in Coody, Dublin, etc. Voters in Worthville District will not vote for the 78th. Representative post shown in the lower left hand corner of the ballot. Instead, they will vote for the Representative from the 73rd seat District. Candidates for the 73rd seat are Lewis Hurd, John McGarity and Ray M. Tucker. Those wishing to vote a Republican ticket may do so, but will not be eligible to vote for the Democratic nominees in the County races. The only candidate appearing on all the Republican ballots locally will be Newt Gingrich, who will oppose the Democratic nominee for the Sixth District Congressional seat in the November general election. The name of Ed F. Wallace will appear on Republican Ballots printed for Worth ville District, as he will oppose the winner of the Hurd—McGarity—Tuck er race for the 73rd Representative Seat. Voters may take a Sample Ballot into the polling place to assist in marking their ballot, but the ballot cannot be voted as only the Official Ballot may be voted and counted.
