Will Georgia courts rein in efforts by the state election board to change election rules?

First up, AJC elections reporter Mark Niesse joins the podcast to discuss the latest developments in the controversial rules for counting votes that the state election board has

put in place just weeks before the presidential election.

Then, residents of Augusta are still struggling to get back to normal after the ravages of Hurricane Helene. Augusta Mayor Garnett Johnson discusses the recovery effort.

And the hosts talk with Brandon Hutchinson, general manager of the Atlanta Motor Speedway, who opened the speedway campgrounds to Florida residents fleeing Hurricane Milton.
