SUMMARY: Kenneth Holland’s son, Kenny, aged 34 and a devoted father to a 5-year-old with cerebral palsy, went missing on August 19. Concern grew when he couldn’t be contacted, and his belongings were found abandoned at the hotel. After 48 hours, he was reported missing. Kenneth began searching for photos of his son needed by detectives, which caused him immense distress. A video of Kenny running through an apartment complex near the hotel became the family’s last memory of him alive. Kenny was known for his love, patience, and kindness, making his sudden disappearance even more heartbreaking for his loved ones.

Gainesville Police say Kenneth Holland’s body was found on Sunday. His family searched for two weeks, knowing he might not be alive: https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/hall-county-father-found-dead-in-ravine-near-lake-lanier/85-f27ff668-3b9e-480b-8fd8-5d2514ff0093

SUMMARY: Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, emphasized the state’s election integrity and rapid reporting at an American Enterprise Institute event, urging other states to adopt similar measures.

Raffensperger advocated for election reforms including photo ID, citizenship verification, and audits to enhance security and confidence in the electoral process. He also called for better coordination among states and federal entities, citing the success of the Electronic Registration Information Center in cleaning voter rolls.

SUMMARY: Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens is facing a federal lawsuit from David Cavender, his election opponent, and two residents for allegedly censoring comments on the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page. The dispute arose after a video showed Owens calling deputies to a Burger King due to a complaint, which went viral before the election. The lawsuit claims Owens restricted comments starting October 29, violating the plaintiffs’ First and 14th Amendment rights. They seek a jury trial, $3.50 in damages, and an injunction against further censorship. Owens won reelection with over 56% of the vote, admitting he regretted involving deputies in the incident.

SUMMARY: Oral arguments regarding Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis’ eligibility to prosecute President-elect Donald Trump, originally scheduled for December 5, have been postponed by the Georgia Court of Appeals without explanation. Willis faces accusations of a conflict of interest due to a romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, which she acknowledged earlier this year. Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee permitted Willis to continue after Wade resigned. The case was brought by Trump and his co-defendants, who are accused of interfering in the 2020 election; Trump has pleaded not guilty to 18 charges, with two dismissed in September.
