Morning Reads for Tuesday, May 19
Good morning! The Supreme Court of Georgia will hear oral arguments via Zoom for the second time this morning. You can watch here:
(Spoiler alert: one of those law-talkers is cuuuu-hooot.)
- Early voting in Georgia is officially underway. Here’s who’s voted so far.
- The Georgia Department of Revenue returned more than $2 million in seized civil asset forfeiture funds to the state treasury. Many call shenanigans on the agency, as the expenditures called into question range from FitBits to fancy guns to tricked-out golf carts.
- Hotels and motels on the Georgia coast are prepping for a busy Memorial Day. (Heaven help us.)
- Questions and continued irregularities with COVID-19 data reporting in Georgia are national news.
- A Savannah judge was appointed to preside over the Ahmaud Arbery trial.
- The Secretary of State visited an early voting location in Cobb County.
- A compelling long read on a real-life Lord of the Flies.
