MACON, Ga. AP – Voters from both parties here say they’re disappointed in the tit-for-tat attack ads being exchanged by the campaigns of Democratic Rep. Jim Marshall and his Republican challenger, former Rep. Mac Collins, in the battle over middle Georgia’s 8th Congressional District.

While the claims made in the ads have sometimes been technically accurate, each candidate has mischaracterized or exaggerated the other’s positions, a fact that isn’t lost on those who will ultimately decide who represents them in Congress for the next two years.
