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

SUMMARY: On a Saturday morning, District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez and fellow Democrat candidates are canvassing, distributing yard signs despite facing criticism for past cases. Critics highlight issues like a dismissed molestation case due to the DA’s office’s indifference and a mistrial from mishandled evidence. A judge mandated training for DA staff on victims’ rights due to repeated violations. Meanwhile, students express frustration over a plea deal involving a man with 16 felony convictions, who is accused of breaking into their apartments. Despite concerns, Gonzalez claims overall crime rates in her jurisdiction have decreased since she took office in 2021.

With Deborah Gonzalez up for reelection, she’s asking voters look at her record – and her critics warn that’s why she shouldn’t remain DA.

SUMMARY: Fulton County DA Fani Willis is opposing House Republicans‘ request for Nathan Wade to testify about the election interference case. In a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, she emphasized her office’s privilege to maintain case confidentiality, stating that public testimony could jeopardize ongoing prosecutions under Georgia’s RICO Act. Willis asserted that her priority is to uphold the integrity of the legal process rather than engage with politically motivated tactics. As of now, House lawmakers have not responded to her letter.

District Attorney Fani Willis pushed back against House Republicans who are demanding that Nathan Wade testify on Capitol Hill over the ongoing election interference case in Fulton County.
