Description

On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Politically Georgia" podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy, Greg Bluestein and Bill Nigut talk to former State Sen. Jen Jordan and colleague Mark Niesse. Jordan discusses the hearing that could determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade should be disqualified from the election conspiracy case against former President Donald Trump. 
 
Then, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Mark Niesse joins the hosts to look at a decision by the State Election Board to reject a proposal to end no-excuse absentee voting. 
 
Niesse also discusses his article reporting that the organization that alleged Georgia election fraud in the widely viewed film “2000 Mules” couldn’t provide evidence to back up its claims. 
 
Finally, the hosts look at the status of several high-profile bills in the legislature as the second half of the session begins.
