SUMMARY: A family stranded in Atlanta for six days after arriving from Paris attempts to fly out for the third time. They faced two flight cancellations and were left with limited options: returning to Paris, using another airline for over $4,000, or staying in Atlanta at their own expense. Frustrated with Delta’s lack of assistance, they learned they must rent a car to reach South Dakota without reimbursement. Hoping their noon flight goes smoothly, they continue to face travel chaos. For updates on travel issues, tips can be sent by texting ‘delays’ to 404-885-7611.

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. He highlighted Georgia’s improvements since the 2020 election, where a hand recount delayed results for 16 days. 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. Trust in elections is crucial amidst a polarized society.

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.
