  • Amazing political education

    I’ve been with the AJC for a little over a year, and the Politically Georgia podcast has provided me an amazing education as I’ve worked to understand the political and landscape in a new state. I enjoy the guests and analyses - as well as Shane B’s nicknames for anonymous callers.

  • Needed Precipitation

    When I was in Georgia politics, the Atlanta newspaper supposedly covered the region “…like the dew.” By the time I left, the combined Atlanta newspapers were retracting in both areas of coverage and availability.

    Thanks to this podcast, at least the important subject of Georgia politics is back, and now not just covering area like dew… it’s a nice spring shower of information, all over the world.

    Highly recommended.

  • How Greg

    Greg is very fair. He approaches hard conversations with respect. He doesn’t shy away from topics. He gives his guest space to express their opinion.

    He should be hosting a tv show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Atlanta DSA co-chair Brayan Ramirez on the group’s goals, candidates and growing influence
Q: If somebody is a member of the Progressive Caucus, does that mean they are also a Socialist?
No. The Progressive Caucus includes people who are progressive but not necessarily socialists; being in the caucus does not imply DSA endorsement or ideology.
Atlanta DSA co-chair Brayan Ramirez on the group’s goals, candidates and growing influence
Q: So, Brayan, first of all, thank you so much for being here. What do you think voters misunderstand about the DSA and the DSA's goals?
The DSA is independent and runs or endorses candidates who have been vetted from within its membership; many who identify as socialists are not Democrats, and there is a distinction between the two, with the DSA seeking to push the Overton window and influence policy from within.
Keep Our Republic takes on Georgia’s election trust crisis
Q: How do we know the final count is right?
Post-election audits, including risk-limiting audits and, in some cases, 100% hand counts, along with strong record-keeping and verification processes, ensure the results are accurate.
Keep Our Republic takes on Georgia’s election trust crisis
Q: Why can it take hours or days to know who won an election?
Pandemic-related staffing issues in 2020 delayed results, but reforms have accelerated processing and reporting, especially for absentee and early voting; ongoing improvements continue to shorten this timeline.
Keep Our Republic takes on Georgia’s election trust crisis
Q: Are Georgia's voting machines connected to the Internet?
They can be connected for maintenance, but on election day the machines operate as stand-alone devices with paper audit backups to verify results.
