SUMMARY: The director of the Athens-Clark County Elections Department attributed a clerical error for sending a second absentee ballot to approximately 725 voters. The mistake originated from issues with their mailing list. However, the department reassures that the statewide election system prevents voters from casting more than one ballot. Director Charlotte Sby stated that they are reaching out to each affected voter via expedited mail, email, or phone to clarify the situation and provide guidance on the absentee ballots.

SUMMARY: A technical glitch at American Airlines caused a nationwide ground stop on Christmas Eve, impacting many travelers as they headed to visit loved ones. The issue, which lasted about an hour, affected flights at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and across the country, coinciding with record-breaking holiday travel, with TSA expecting to screen 40 million passengers. Although the glitch was resolved quickly, some delays persisted, with approximately half of flights into and out of Atlanta experiencing holdups. Thankfully, there were no major long-term consequences, and most travel remained relatively smooth despite a few cancellations.

A temporary shutdown by American Airlines led to some delayed flights this morning at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
