Video catches man dragging dogs behind car | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Investigators in DeKalb County are seeking public assistance to identify a man caught on surveillance video dragging two dogs from his car bumper. The incident, which occurred on September 13 at the Redan Recreation Center, was alarming as the man briefly exited his dark-colored Chevrolet Malibu, untied the dogs, and drove away to conceal his license plate. Tragically, one of the dogs, a medium-sized black mix, did not survive, while the other, a brindle mix, has found a new home. The driver faces two counts of felony aggravated animal cruelty, potentially resulting in a decade in prison and a $30,000 fine.
Disturbing video out of DeKalb County as investigators hope someone will be able to identify a man seen dragging two dogs from his car bumper. This video shows the September incident at a county recreation center.

Thousands of absentee ballots may not count in this Georgia county | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: In Cobb County, over 3,000 absentee ballots may not be counted due to a Georgia Supreme Court stay on a lower court’s ruling that extended the return deadline. Election officials processed more than 3,400 absentee ballot applications late, leading to a lawsuit that sought to extend the deadline to November 8. A judge initially granted this extension, but the state Supreme Court’s stay means only ballots received by 7 p.m. on Election Day will be counted. Residents express disappointment that their votes might be excluded, highlighting concerns about the election process‘s integrity. The final ruling is pending.
Thousands of voters who requested absentee ballots in Cobb County may not have their votes quotes. The Georgia Supreme Court stayed a lower court’s decision to extend the deadline for the return of more then 3,000 absentee ballots.

Here's how the Electoral College works
SUMMARY: The White House is gearing up for counting votes in Georgia, influencing the presidential election through the Electoral College. Jonathan Martin explains that the College was created as a compromise between allowing Congress or the public to choose the president. Voters select electors based on their state‘s congressional representation. California, for instance, has 54 electors due to its population size. A total of 538 electoral votes exist, with 270 needed to win. If no candidate reaches this majority, the House of Representatives will decide the president. Calls for a popular vote system persist, though it would require a constitutional amendment.
The Electoral College plays a big role in who becomes the president. Here’s what to know.
