SUMMARY: Governor Kemp and the Georgia Emergency Management agency were praised for their efficient support during recent elections. While a few counties adjusted early voting locations, information is available on the My Voter Page. Voters are encouraged to plan their voting—absentee, early, or on Election Day. A new app, Ballot Scout, allows tracking of absentee ballots. Georgia boasts the nation’s highest election integrity ratings, having improved processes since 2019, including secure voter verification and audits. Upgrades in technology have reduced wait times, with early voting locations available to accommodate voters. Transparency and trust in the electoral process remain priorities.

Early voting kicks off in the Peach State on Tuesday, and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger scheduled a press conference to address voters

While some defended Musk, arguing it was an awkward gesture, the Anti-Defamation League described it as a “moment of enthusiasm” rather than a Nazi salute. However, critics, including MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend, disagreed. Some media outlets and public figures, like historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat, viewed it as a fascist salute. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene threatened PBS for its coverage.
