Last weekend for early voting in Georgia | Record turnout reported thus far
SUMMARY: With just 9 days until election day, Georgia is experiencing record voter turnout, with nearly 2.8 million ballots cast. Early voting in Fulton County begins at noon, although polling locations have been busy. Over 40% of registered voters have participated so far, with another week of early voting remaining. Voters express their desire to avoid the rush and fulfill their civic duty. Early voting continues until Friday at any county polling place, while those voting on election day must go to their assigned precinct. For detailed voting information, residents can text a dedicated number for guidance.
Nearly 2.8 million people have cast their ballot thus far, according to the secretary of state’s office.
SUMMARY: A winter storm is set to impact southern Georgia, prompting the closure of state offices in Atlanta and the delay of budget hearings. Governor Brian Kemp, initially scheduled to address the Joint Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, will now speak on Thursday. He declared a state of emergency ahead of the storm, which is expected to bring snow to regions like Macon and Columbus and ice accumulation in southern counties. Kemp acknowledged the lack of preparedness in these areas compared to northern Georgia. The Department of Transportation began road preparations, emphasizing the vast mileage they must cover. The emergency declaration lasts until January 28.

Democrat congressman condemns ‘what appears to be a Heil Hitler salute’ from Musk
SUMMARY: Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) criticized Elon Musk for making what appeared to be a Heil Hitler salute during a January 20, 2025, event celebrating President Trump’s inauguration. Nadler called the gesture “abhorrent” and urged condemnation, labeling it antisemitic. 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.
