Rules

1. Post Relevance

Posts should be related to one of the following:

  • Legislation in Georgia (anything from city to state-wide)
  • Actions of Georgia's elected officials (including our US Reps and Senators)
  • Upcoming political events in Georgia (city council meetings, protests, rallies, elections)
  • Meta posts are not allowed, except as needed by the mod team.

2. Civility

Remain civil at all times

  • Don't insult other redditors
  • Don't make assumptions or condescend
  • Don't make broad generalized statements about opposing groups
  • With respect to public officials, criticism should be leveled at policies they support/oppose
  • Exceptions for the above will be made for public officials doing blatantly awful things. This is the Jason Spencer exemption.

3. Sources

When making a definitive claim of fact be prepared to back it up by linking sources, such as articles from (reasonably) nonbiased news outlets or scholarly studies that support your claim. You can't say "this law will turn the sky green" unless you can link a verifiable article stating "another state passed this law and the sky turned green". You can't say "Jason Spencer is a bigot" unless you can link a verifiable article stating "Jason Spencer used derogatory racial slurs on television".

For anyone who needs a ride to the poll, this is a list of places offering free rides. All ride shares take people regardless of political affiliation. Even if the organization is a more Democratic or Republican ran organization.

Remember, who you vote for is private to you. However, if you voted in an election is public information.

Somewhere I had heard Raphael Warnock is trying to raise money to keep buses offering free rides to the polls in Georgia. Does anyone know where I can find the information of where those buses are located and what company is offering them?

National Programs offered in Georgia:

NAACP rides through Lyft: https://asalh.org/naacp-is-offering-free-rides-on-election-day/

If anyone knows of additional ride share programs. Please post them in the comments, and I will add them to the post.

Edit: It would also be great if someone could cross post this into r/Atlanta and r/Georgia as this would be useful for those communities, but I'm currently not a part of them.

Reagan/Bush ‘84 Signs? What’s that about?

I'm in Cherokee and have been seeing these signs (instead of the usual "Trump GOOD Kamala BAD" signs). Apparently it's not a new thing but I've never noticed them before.

Does anyone know what it's about? Anyone else seeing them?

Help, someone changed my voter address and I just discovered it. Intended to vote tomorrow.

I'm planning on early voting tomorrow in Fulton county/Atlanta, and when I logged onto the My Voter Page just now to pull my sample ballot someone has changed my residential address from Buckhead to Cascades outside the perimeter. What do I do? This isn't my address and I believe it will affect my ballot as well.

ETA: On the my voter page I have confirmation someone changed my address at 11AM 10/22/24. I desperately need help, I don't know where to start fixing this.

ETA2: If this happens to you, immediately call your county registrar, call the voter protection hotline, and report it on the SOS website. Registrar should be able to fix it but if not protection hotline can help you navigate your rights and options.

If you send me huge amounts of mailers, it makes me not want to vote for you.

Idk about ya'll, but this year has been absolutely awful for my house in terms of mailers, I swear i've gotten about 40 in the past week. They're all hyper sensationalized, with no helpful information on them. Really seems like a waste of paper, and a waste of USPS resources.

🚨Georgia Court Makes MAJOR RULING on Election: State Elections Board Gets Checked

MAGA and Trump have suffered a major setback in their plans to disrupt the voting in Georgia by delaying certification of the vote with an Atlanta area judge ruling that under all circumstances, a county board of election must certify its results by the dates required in Georgia law and cannot any circumstances refuse to certify the vote total. Michael Popok analyzes the first of 2 orders to be issued by Judge McBurney to address MAGA’s last-minute plans to try to tip the election to Trump.
