ATLANTA - In the first week of early voting for Georgiaâs Senate runoff election, Casie Yoder parked at a polling location in Cobb County and loaded miniature hand sanitizer bottles, knitted hats, hand warmers and face masks into a collapsible wagon cart.
Her goal: to help voters stay in line in frigid temperatures and cast their ballots in a pair of high-stakes runoff contests that will determine which political party controls the Senate next year. The runoffs will also test whether Democrats can again pull together the diverse coalition that propelled President-elect Joe Biden to victory in Georgia in November and cemented the state s status as a political battleground. ....

Column: Tom Vilsack's second chance

Itâs not often that politicians get the chance for a do-over.
Yet this is happening with President-elect Joe Bidenâs nomination of Tom Vilsack as secretary of agriculture, the same position the former Iowa governor held during the Obama administration.

Georgia On My Mind

By Frederick A. Hurst
I know I’m not the only one with Georgia on my mind but I do think my perspective on current political events in Georgia might be a bit unique and certainly nostalgic.
Although I was born and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts along with my four siblings, both my grandmother and grandfather on my mother’s side migrated to Springfield from Georgia in the mid 1920s.
As my grandmother described it to me before she passed, my grandfather came North first looking for work and she came later by train with her two oldest boys, Lee and Frederick, my namesake, after my grandfather found work first with the railroad and later as a laborer for the City of Springfield. Their other two kids, Alton and the youngest, Jeanette, my mother, were born in Springfield. Eventually, all of my grandparent’s siblings left Georgia, some for New Jersey, some for New York and Detroit and some, as my grandmother told it, for places unknown. ....
