Election 2024: Redistricting shakes up Georgia’s 6th Congressional | Georgia
SUMMARY: Georgia’s 6th Congressional District is undergoing a potential party flip due to redistricting. Current Republican representative Rich McCormick is running for District 7, while Democrat Lucy McBath aims to reclaim her former District 6 seat. McBath, who previously won in 2018 and 2020, had a strong showing in the spring primary with over 60,000 votes. Her policies focus on LGBTQ+ rights and gun violence prevention. Opponent Jeff Criswell, a newcomer and self-identified conservative leader, emphasizes issues like the economy and parental rights. Despite possible shifts, experts predict minimal changes to Georgia’s U.S. House delegation, currently dominated by Republicans.

Election 2024: Doherty bids to unseat Collins in 10th Congressional | Georgia
SUMMARY: Mike Collins, the Republican incumbent, seeks a second term in Georgia’s 10th Congressional District, promoting conservative reforms in Washington. Challenging him is Lexy Doherty, who emphasizes rural economic development, health care, and bodily autonomy. Doherty believes in freedom, encompassing women’s rights and safe environments for children. Collins, first elected in the 2022 midterms, raised significant funds and remains favored after redistricting. In contrast, Doherty secured her primary win with 59% but has limited resources. Collins champions Trump-era policies, working to disrupt the political status quo, while Doherty aims for policy changes focused on democracy and climate action.

Georgia Secretary of State's Office expresses concerns over timing of election rule changes
SUMMARY: With 28 days until the November election, the controversial state election board is convening to discuss voter complaints.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of State’s office is worried about recent election rule changes, particularly a new mandate for local precincts to hand count ballot totals.
