Clerical error causes duplicate absentee ballots for some voters in Athens
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.

Kemp’s tort reform package limits business lawsuits | Georgia
SUMMARY: Governor Brian Kemp unveiled a tort reform package aimed at holding businesses accountable while limiting “frivolous lawsuits.” The proposed reforms include capping damages to actual medical bills and informing juries about seat belt use in auto accidents. Kemp advocates banning “anchoring tactics” in closing arguments to ensure juries can make independent judgments, rather than relying on unrelated benchmarks. He emphasizes that the current legal environment hinders Georgia’s economic growth. Business groups support the plan, but Democrats argue that insurance reform is also necessary to provide immediate relief from rising premiums. Kemp hinted at a potential special session if reforms aren’t passed.
