New election rules in effect, plus changes after hurricane damage as Georgia begins early voting

Early voting in this historic election year begins Tuesday in Georgia. Voters in 159 counties have three weeks to vote early and, of course, on Election Day, as well.

One was brought on by Hurricane Helene. The other by what’s been dubbed the Trump-approved election board.

Raffensberger says Georgia has protocols in place to handle ballots and make sure they are secure and the election outcome is fair.
