Late this week jury selection will begin in the trial of Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, two of the 19 defendants – including former President Donald Trump – charged by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis with conspiring to overturn the results of Georgia's 2020 presidential election. Powell and Chesebro exercised their right under Georgia law for a speedy trial, and so will be tried separately from Trump and his fellow defendants. In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, the AJC's Tamar Hallerman, who has followed every step of Willis' investigation of Trump and his allies, joins Greg Bluestein and Bill Nigut with a preview of what to expect as jury selection gets underway with the trial soon to follow.   Plus, Congressman Jim Jordan has the support of every GOP member of Georgia's U.S. House delegation as Jordan pushes his bid to become speaker of the House. But does Jordan have the votes to win? AJC Washington correspondent Tia Mitchell shares her analysis as the battle gets underway on the floor of the House. And later, just what is Herschel Walker doing with the $4.5 million in unspent campaign contributions sitting in his campaign bank account? Contemplating another run for office? The former UGA football legend is remaining mum on the subject, which is leading to plenty of speculation among Georgia Republicans.   Have a question for the show?

Incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock narrowly defeated Republican Herschel Walker Tuesday in a closely fought race for Georgia's U.S. Senate seat, giving Democrats a slim two-seat majority in the upper house in Washington. Warnock was leading Walker 51.1% to 48.8% as of 11:50 p.m. Tuesday night, with 98% of precincts reporting. The Warnock victory in the final contest of the 2022 election cycle gave Democrats 51 seats in the Senate to 49 for Republicans. As of midnight, Warnock had won 59% of the vote in Cobb County, according to unofficial results, with Republican challenger Herschel Walker receiving 41%. Though Warnock won around 38,000 more votes than Walker in the November general election, neither candidate earned more than 50% of the vote required by Georgia law to prevent a runoff, pushing the nationally watched race to a December rematch. The lengthy campaign that finally concluded Tuesday night was the most expensive race of the 2022 cycle, with outside groups and the candidates' campaigns spending more than $401 million in the race, according to campaign-finance tracking group OpenSecrets   For a few seconds, the Allatoona flag football team thought it was on its way to the Class 7A state championship game at Center Parc Stadium. If not for a few extra steps, the Buccaneers would have been. With Monday's state semifinal tied 13-all with 5 seconds left to play, Allatoona quarterback Maci Strickland scrambled left, pulled up and threw deep down the middle. Receiver Aoife Flynn came down with the ball between two defenders and sprinted away for what looked to be the game-winning 65-yard touchdown. However, the celebration was short-lived as Strickland was called for being past the line of scrimmage when she let the pass go. The penalty sent the game to overtime, where the potential celebration turned to disappointment. In the second overtime, Milton found a way to finally get past Allatoona 19-13 at IBM Performance Field inside the Atlanta Falcons' training facility. Milton will face Blessed Trinity, which beat Marietta in the other semifinal, for the state championship Thursday at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta. For much of the season, Marietta's flag football team would often start slowly, rely on its defense and then pull away from opponents in the second half. It was a trend that concerned coach Nick Houstoulakis as the Blue Devils got deeper in the playoffs, and on Monday, his concerns were justified. Blessed Trinity scored two first-half touchdowns and added a third in the final minutes of the game to post a 19-0 victory over Marietta in the semifinals of the Class 7A state playoffs, also at the Falcons' IBM Performance Field. Marietta was stopped one game short of reaching back-to-back state championship games. For Blessed Trinity, it was a game of payback for the 26-0 loss the Blue Devils handed them in the same round a year ago. The City Council voted 4-2 to allocate an additional $500,000 for the building of a downtown park slated to open in spring 2023. Village Green Park will be located just south of the StillFire Brewing brewery being built in downtown Smyrna. The brewery and adjacent park are sandwiched between Atlanta Road and the Smyrna Community Center. In January, the council agreed to sell an acre of city-owned land to StillFire, which will build a two-story, 15,000-square-foot brewery there. The proceeds from that sale — $600,000 — were to fund Village Green Park. In April, the council allocated an additional $400,000 for the park from the city's federal COVID-19 relief funds, bringing the total cost to $1 million. The latest funding allocation was sourced from the city's general fund. With Monday night's vote, the cost for the park is now $1.5 million, an increase Mayor Derek Norton told the MDJ was necessary to overcome issues with grading on the property and to match finishes in other parks the city is upgrading. Council members Charles “Corkey” Welch and Susan Wilkinson voted against the measure. The two members also voted against the deal that saw the city sell land to StillFire Brewing, as well as the first set of additional funding for the park project. Welch's reason for opposing the newest infusion of funds held steady from his previous vote in April against additional funding, which is his belief the current park serves the community more as is than a brewery would.   The Battery Atlanta invites guests to welcome 2023 in style at its annual New Year's Eve Bash, presented by Xfinity, on December 31.

A suspect in a deadly August shooting at a Vinings apartment complex has been taken into custody. Ambakisye Mizell, charged with the murder of Demetrius Dow, was booked into the Cobb County jail Sunday, where he is being held without bond, according to booking records. At around 4 a.m. on August 28, Cobb police responded to a call at the District at Vinings apartment complex at 2800 Paces Ferry Road reporting that someone had been shot, police said at the time. First responders treated the 40-year-old Dow for gunshot wounds, but he died at the scene. A warrant for Mizell's arrest was issued November 9. In the warrant, police allege Mizell shot Dow multiple times in the legs while robbing him. Mizell is from Albany, Georgia, according to booking records, and was transferred to Cobb from the Crisp County jail. The Cobb County Board of Education is set to review five district rule modifications at its work session Thursday afternoon. Two changes are to existing rules, concerning staff access to the district's new emergency system badges and employee transfers within the district. Three new policies deal with animals in schools, counseling programs and the Parents' Bill of Rights. The codification of the Parents' Bill of Rights in the district's administrative rules comes after Governor. Brian Kemp signed into law the bill known by the same name in April. Board Member Randy Scamihorn told the MDJ that the district is already in compliance with the state law, and will formalize it with the new policy. The rule allows parents to access their child's education records and learn more about instructional materials. It also gives parents the right to object to content “which the parent/legal guardian feels is divisive or harmful to minors” based on the district's Divisive Concepts Complaint Resolution Process, part of rules the district passed in June to fall in line with another law on divisive concepts signed by Kemp. The new rule also allows parents the right to withdraw their children from sex education courses and prohibit the district from taking photographs and making video or voice recordings of their children, so long as parents provide written notices. Revisions to the rule governing employee transfer could cause the most stir, according to Cobb County Association of Educators President Jeff Hubbard, who said the changes could make it harder for teachers to move around within the district. Hubbard noted that employees will now be required to be at their present location of employment for a two-year minimum at the time of a transfer. Other sections of the rule address “emotional support/comfort animals,” which “are not trained to perform a disability-specific task and are not Service Animals as defined by law or this rule,” and “classroom pets,” which the district says may be fish, parrots, reptiles, amphibians, hamsters and guinea pigs. The Cobb school board will meet for its work session Thursday at 2:30 p.m. at 514 Glover St. in Marietta, and its voting meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at the same location.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cobb voters headed to the polls Saturday for the first day of early voting in the runoff election for one of Georgia's U.S. Senate seats. The runoff pits Republican candidate Herschel Walker against incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock. In the midterms, Warnock received 49.4% of the vote, while Walker received 48.5% and Libertarian Chase Oliver received 2.1%. Since no candidate reached 50%, Georgia law requires a runoff election with Walker and Warnock as the only candidates on the ballot. The election will be Dec. 6.   #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com            See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Georgia's U.S. Senate runoff election is about two things, Sen. Raphael Warnock told supporters Saturday in Woodstock: competency and character. Warnock, the Democratic senator in a bid for reelection against Republican challenger and former University of Georgia football player Herschel Walker, made a stop outside Allen Temple AME Church during his runoff bus tour. A spokesperson for the Warnock campaign said about 300 people were in attendance at the event. He urged attendees to tell family and friends to vote, saying, “tell them there's too much on the line to stay home. tell them there's too much at stake... and the differences between me and my opponent are too wide.” Georgia's runoff election could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate. The Ebenezer Baptist Church pastor criticized his opponent, who he said had been dishonest about his credentials, claims to have worked with law enforcement and that he graduated from the University of Georgia. The senator touted his record, including sponsoring legislation to cap the costs of insulin for Medicare patients. Warnock told supporters he has a history of working across the aisle with Republican lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz, who was in Canton nine days before to stump for Walker. Walker pointed to the infrastructure bill, the PACT Act for veterans, and bills on gun control, maternal mortality, agriculture and making railway crossings safer as results of his bipartisan work. Officials from Keep Georgia Beautiful and Keep America Beautiful, Inc., recently welcomed Cherokee County to its expanding community-based Network of Affiliates with the certification of “Keep Cherokee Beautiful.” After a year of preparation, KCB finalized its affiliate certification at a recognition ceremony Tuesday at the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners work session.

In attaining the certification, Keep Cherokee Beautiful joins more than 70 local affiliates across Georgia. In addition, KCB will join more than 700 KAB affiliates, including 26 state affiliates, and several international affiliates. Currently, Keep Cherokee Beautiful works to reduce littering through programs like “Adopt-a-Mile,” community cleanups and supporting electronics recycling events, as well as providing recycling education through the organization's monthly electronic newsletter. In addition to receiving its program affiliation, KCB also recognized several members with awards that included Lisa Johnson who received the Outstanding Volunteer award, as well as the BridgeMill Homeowners Association, which received the award for Outstanding Adopt-A-Mile Partner.

According to Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services, firefighters and Cherokee Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a residential structure fire fire at 10:40 p.m. Saturday on Fletcher Drive near Conns Creek Road. Firefighters found a home with significant fire involvement, and deployed hose lines to begin extinguishing it while ensuring all occupants were out of the home, the fire department reported. Due to the location of the closest fire hydrant, crews had to shuttle water to the scene using multiple fire engines. Fletcher Drive was shut down while crews responded to the fire. The structure, destroyed in the fire, was a home to five residents. One of those residents reported injuries and was assessed by Cherokee Fire personnel but refused transport to the hospital. The American Red Cross was contacted to assist the family with resources. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.   Developers applying to the city of Canton for annexations, rezonings or anything else that requires a public hearing for residential developments will have to wait a year before they can go to the city council. The Canton City Council unanimously approved an abeyance on applications for public hearings Thursday related to residential projects for a period of 12 months, effective immediately. An abeyance refers to a suspension of a process. This would not affect residential projects that are already approved or in development, were already scheduled to appear before the city council prior to the approval of the abeyance, or public hearings for proposed commercial developments. The city is also reaching the midpoint of the comprehensive planning cycle through the state of Georgia. During this part of the comprehensive plan, the city has an opportunity to adopt a short-term work plan and five-year update to the plan, set to expire in 2028.    The River Ridge girls basketball team started its season 1-0 on Thursday night, beating county rival Cherokee 64-38 at home. Kayla Cleaveland paced the Lady Knights' offense with a game-high 20 points, starting her sophomore season out strong. Sophia Pearl, also just a sophomore, was the second-leading scorer with 16 points, followed by Mataya Gayle with 15 points. Cleaveland dominated the second quarter, scoring 10 of her 10 points in the frame. Pearl took over late, tallying 12 of her points in the fourth quarter, including two 3-pointers. River Ridge started the season ranked No. 1 in the GHSA poll for Class AAAAAA, and in beating Cherokee, it knocked off the No. 8-ranked team in Class AAAAAAA. The Lady Warriors started their season 1-0, but fell even at 1-1 on Thursday. Standout junior Toni Warren scored a team-best nine points, followed by Hannah Harris with six points. Riley Simmons pitched in five points and Madison Moody finished with four. Harris was especially active in the first half to help keep Cherokee in the game, with Warren picking her offense up in the third quarter. Both teams are back in action on Saturday, with River Ridge matching up with Carver, and Cherokee looking to get back in the win column against Lumpkin County.   Ferst Readers of Cherokee County can provide books to more than 130 children in the county for a year thanks to a donation from the Towne Lake Rotary Club Foundation. Julia Johnson, a member of the Ferst Readers Cherokee County Action Team, attended the Nov. 17 Rotary Club of Towne Lake meeting to accept a check on behalf of the nonprofit and shared her passion for Ferst Readers and education. Towne Lake Rotary issued part of the donation several months ago during a time of critical need, and on Thursday, presented the remainder of the donation for a total of $4,730. Ferst Readers was started by Robin Ferst in Madison, Georgia. in 1999 after hearing from a plant executive who was having difficulty finding employees who could read at the level required to be hired. Ferst made it her mission to introduce children to reading early, and the nonprofit, Ferst Readers, was born. The program provides age-appropriate books and a corresponding newsletter for children ages birth to 5 years old every month. In Cherokee County, 240 children receive Ferst Readers' services.   #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews           -          -          -          -          -          -          The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County. Register Here for your essential digital news.             This podcast was produced and published for the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger and TribuneLedgerNews.com by BG Ad Group     For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com/    https://cuofga.org/   https://www.drakerealty.com/   https://www.esogrepair.com/                         See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Ep. 218, Dave & Jessica discuss the resolution for former Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine, 13k voter registrations challenged in Georgia, the traffic stop heard ‘round the world, some news about Georgia's U.S. Senate race, and Dave's plea for everyone to just ‘be cool.'

Wednesday on Political Rewind: The legislature is expected to move forward with redistricting maps likely to consolidate Republican control of Georgia's U.S. congressional delegation for years to come.  Our panel discussed the possible consequences. Will Democratic U.S. Representative Lucy McBath find herself in a risky position as the boundaries of her 6th District are redrawn? Also, a controversial proposal to increase the size of the Gwinnett County Commission is off the table for now. However, the proposal's author, Republican state Sen. Clint Dixon, says it will be back when the regular session begins in January. Democrats claim Dixon wants to undermine the power of the currently all-Democratic commission by adding members. Plus, controversial "culture war" issues are set to take a prominent role in messaging surrounding the 2022 elections. Clark Atlanta professor Dr. Kurt Young said the use of these issues, such as the banning of books by celebrated authors like Toni Morrison, show how culture is used a political tool. "Culture is more than simply artistic expression: It's really a reflection of the very basic values that govern a society or within a society," Young said. "What we're seeing in Virginia, what we're seeing here in Georgia, is a reflection of these very deep-seated efforts to exercise power using cultural instruments."

President Trump said he would pause tariff escalations with China after meeting with that country's president, Xi Jinping, at the G20 Summit. One Georgia industry tracking the ongoing talks is shipping. The Trump administration had threatened a 25% tariff on ship-to-shore cranes that come from China. The Georgia Ports Authority is ordering six new ones at a total cost of $70 million. Its executive director and Georgia's U.S. senators are asking the White House to rethink taxing them. That's because the cranes are just one piece of a $2.5 billion expansion at the ports that's smashing trade and revenue records.
