Wanna bet? Online sports betting becomes political issue in Georgia 2022 midterms

Stacey Abrams wants to legalize online sports betting and expand the HOPE Scholarship to students with a C average or higher. Georgia's governor has no position on the issue. The last effort to allow online gambling was defeated in the last legislative session. The current effort is likely to be reintroduced next year. It would be the second attempt to introduce the measure in two years. A majority of states have legalized or implemented some form of legal sports gambling. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens is at least open to supporting online betting. He supports a constitutional amendment to use the revenues to give Georgians free access to technical college.
