Early voting is poised to get underway in several states this month. The Washington Examiner will take a closer look at the swing states, including voting rules you need to know and key differences from prior elections. Part Seven of Battleground Ballots will focus on what has changed in Georgia, the state with the closest margin in 2020 that has grabbed election integrity headlines ever since.Former President Donald Trump is still upset over what happened in Georgia in 2020, though he can’t do much about it now.
