Election Stories: Poll Watching and Cobb Voter Turnout

By: Heather Thompson
In case you live under a rock, Donald J. Trump won the 2024 presidential election, and it has been the most relieving moment for anyone who worked hard to get out the vote and tell Americans why it’s important to cast a ballot in any election. Personally, I have been working tirelessly to help inform voters of the truth and let them make their decision at the ballot box.

Election Results: America Rejects Democrats – Cobb is a Mixed Bag

By: L. Cramer
In the wee hours of November 6, I’ll admit I was asleep after poll watching for 9 hours, but Donald Trump clinched the presidency in an overwhelming majority that has not only won him the Electoral College, but also the popular vote – the left’s Achilles heel.

America, overall, has rejected the left’s radical ideologies and insanity as Republicans have taken the Senate and are on track to keep the House.

The Cloward-Pivening of an Election

How many Georgia counties and mystery JUDGES are changing or ignoring election law as I type? There’s no telling. Cobb, Fulton, Forsyth and Gwinnett, all reportedly with multiple irregularities. Don’t sip that weekend cocktail, or sneeze, or you might miss something. 

According to multiple sources, these metro counties are spontaneously “observing special weekend operations” — taking (and maybe counting? Shredding? Adding to?) ballots (absentee? Early voting? Who knows?) this weekend and not letting poll watchers (republicans) in.

Heroes Among Us: Motocross Community’s Unconditional Love

I had never been to a motocross event before, and up until October 19, never met Cobb County residents John Watkins or Nick Blackmon either. Upon arriving at the 70 plus acre Dale family farm in Buchanan, I was greeted by smiling faces – wives of the motocross riders and event coordinators – and after parking my car in a hay field, I followed the sound of two-stroke engines toward the starting line where hundreds of people were gathered with numerous helmet-clad riders revving their bikes awaiting the drop of the starting gate.

Bus Drivers Steer Cobb Education Endorsements?

In a surprising twist in the Cobb County School Board race for Post 1, the National Education Association’s (NEA) local affiliate, the Cobb County Association of Educators (CCAE), has raised eyebrows with its endorsement process. The CCAE, led by Jeff Hubbard, has thrown its support behind Vickie Benson, the Democratic candidate challenging incumbent Republican and former Cobb County educator, Randy Scamihorn. This endorsement has sparked controversy, particularly surrounding who is making these critical decisions.

Former Cobb Commissioner Bob Ott: Breaks Down MSPLOST

This week saw the beginning of early voting in Cobb County.  With it comes a push by the county commission to vote for a transit tax that if approved would impose a 1% sales tax for the next 30 years.  Think about that for a moment; your middle schooler would be in their mid 40s at the end of the tax.

There are many issues I see with this proposed transit tax.  First, and foremost is calling it an MSPLOST.  By definition, a SPLOST is a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. Many will remember my numerous NO votes for previous SPLOST proposals because I felt that the project list was mostly wants and not needs.
