January 5, 2021 Atlanta: Voters exit after casting their ballots on Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021 at the Park Tavern located at 500 10th St NE in Atlanta. Georgia’s long moment in the national spotlight culminated Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021, when state voters cast their votes to determine which party would control the U.S. Senate. Georgia voters also voted to elect a member of the state Public Service Commission, which regulates energy and utility rates and issues. The two most expensive Senate races in history saw more than $833 million been spent by the four campaigns and outside groups supporting them, blanketing the airwaves and stuffing mailboxes across the state. Much of that money has come from organizations with no direct connection to Georgia. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)

The current map places the Arch on the campus of the University of Georgia in one state House district and College Square Plaza in another. “This is gerrymandering 101,” said Charles Bullock, a University of Georgia political science professor and author of the book “Redistricting: The Most Political Activity in America.” (Jenni Girtman for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

November 4, 2020 Atlanta: Fulton County election workers started counting and scanning ballots again on Wednesday Nov. 4, 2020 as the State and the Nation waited for the results. Fulton County elections head Richard Barron said he expects results from the tens of thousands of outstanding absentee-by-mail ballots by 9 p.m. Wednesday. People across the nation are eagerly watching to see whether Fulton County home to Atlanta, the South’s crown jewel, and 1 million residents can help former Vice President Joe Biden beat President Donald Trump.

That was enough to keep the nation biting its nails and waiting on Fulton. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
