John Barrow, the former 12th District congressman, is now seeking the office of Georgia secretary of state. Visiting Statesboro on Friday, he said he hopes to oversee replacement of Georgia’s current voting system with one that will leave a paper trail. Barrow, a Democrat, held the congressional seat for 10 years, but lost it to current U.S. Rep. Rick Allen, a Republican, in the November 2014 election.
