Georgia prepares for Election Day: Final messages from Trump and Harris, voter misinformation and GOP legal moves

With one day to go before what many consider a historic Election Day, more than 4 million Georgians have already cast their ballots, while millions more are expected to vote tomorrow. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell speak with political ad expert Rick Dent to analyze the final campaign messages from Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as they make their last push to win over voters. Then, we speak with Gabe Sterling, COO of the Secretary of State’s office, about the measures being taken to counter misinformation circulating on social media about non-citizen voting. Sterling also addresses the latest legal challenge from Georgia Republicans, who filed a lawsuit over counties that accepted absentee ballots this past weekend. Finally, a sampling of person-on-the-street interviews with Georgians sharing their thoughts on this year’s election.
