Hearing held in case challenging new election rules | Georgia
SUMMARY: Plaintiffs, including the Democratic Party of Georgia, are seeking clarification on new rules enacted by the Georgia State Board of Elections ahead of the Nov. 5 general election. A judge is reviewing these rules, which permit local election boards to conduct a “reasonable inquiry” before certifying elections and scrutinize documents for inconsistencies. The plaintiffs argue these requirements could create uncertainty and chaos in the post-election process. Additionally, the Georgia NAACP opposes a new rule mandating daily hand counts of ballots, claiming it increases the risk of error and could lead to voter disenfranchisement, especially so close to the election.

Op-Ed: ACIP must give doctors and patients choice and access | Opinion
SUMMARY: The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends vaccine usage to enhance public health. At its upcoming October meeting, ACIP may lower the routine pneumococcal vaccination age from 65 to 50, which would increase awareness, access, and vaccination rates, ultimately saving lives. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in health policies diminished, but endorsing this recommendation could restore goodwill with the public. It’s crucial for ACIP to maintain transparency in its recommendations, leaving vaccination choices to individual physicians instead of imposing blanket decisions. RealClearHealth supports ACIP’s proposal, viewing it as beneficial for patient choice and access to medicine for adults 50 and older.
