Error: voter registration not found

Today is the last day to register to vote. One in ten voters had their voter registration cancelled last year, with no notice. One in ten. How do you know if you are still registered?

As new bill loses its bite, Georgia Power is let off the hook for Plant Vogtle again

A bill from Sen. Chuck Hufstetler that would have finally slammed Georgia Power with the consequences of its Plant Vogtle disaster suddenly lost its bite in the Georgia Legislature last Thursday. The provisions that would hold Georgia Power accountable for Plant Vogtle were slashed from the bill.
