Mark was kind to provide me with the GA file the AJC obtained for this story. One of the striking things I saw was the rise in "17.5" registrations -- young people who will be 18 by November but are still 17

Besides the big increases in new registrations, even more young voters are on the way. Over 9,600 registrations are “pending” because the voters signed up when they were 17 1/2 years old, which is allowed in Georgia. They aren’t eligible to cast a ballot until they turn 18.

Voting rights advocates asked Gov. Kemp to remove pro-Trump members of the State Election Board. He asked AG Carr for an opinion on whether he can do so. Carr’s opinion said citizens can’t “simply submit information” to Kemp and trigger a hearing process. documentcloud.org/documents/2510…

Gov. Brian Kemp won’t soon have to face a decision on whether to remove members of Georgia’s State Election Board who are under fire for approving new rules that critics say are designed to favor former President Donald Trump. #gapol ajc.com/politics/ag-op…
