A Changing Narrative
Several years ago, President Obama made history as the first person of color in the White House. Now, Kamala has an opportunity to take that one step further, becoming the first woman and person of color to represent the nation.
Early Voting
The 2024 presidential election will take place in November, but early voting in Georgia can begin as early as October 15th. However, Georgia isn’t the only state to offer this convenient alternative to in-person voting. Rather, more than 40 states had laws permitting early voting by 2020. States allowed these new laws with the intent to “reduc[e] the pressures on election officials on Election Day would reduce the likelihood of long lines or polling place problems,” according to Paul Gronke, a professor of political science at Reed College. Gronke also founded the non-partisan Early Voting Information Center.
