Republican Matthew McCord was feeling pretty good about the $12,000 he had raised for his campaign for Henry County district attorney when he was blindsided by a September surprise.
New York billionaire George Soros dumped $147,000 into Georgia Safety & Justice, an independent-expenditure committee registered on Aug. 26, aimed at defeating Mr. McCord and electing his opponent, Democrat Darius Pattillo.
After recovering from the shock, Mr. McCord, a former prosecutor in Clayton and Newton counties, did what he thought was best for himself and the party: He dropped out of the race, allowing Mr. Pattillo to run unopposed.
“It was horrible,” said Mr. McCord, a lawyer in private practice in McDonough. “They rented space, they had a staff, they were using a Washington, D.C.-based PR firm. So what I knew was they could say whatever they wanted to say about me. It didn’t matter if it was true, and I would have no way to respond.”

PAC's are (legally) stealing elections all over the country, taking them too often from the best qualified to only the best funded.
I wish this guy would go away already or go broke trying.
Trumps new CIA should eradicate that cancer!
I hope all of these rich trouble makers are arrested.
Better yet, ship them out of this country.
So you quit, when the going got tough and Soros $ started to flow?! Thank God Trump didn't do the same.
