The Politics Bar After Hours - The Coming SOTU
Election conspiracies and data center utility costs add up – for GA residents
Michael Handelman & Dr. Amy Sharma joined The Ron Show today.
Lo and behold, bipartisan voices are urging Trump-led conspiracy theorists to “move on.” Both former Governor Roy Barnes (D) and former Senator Saxby Chambliss (R) took to the AJC’s Politically Georgia podcast to rail against relitigating the 2020 election, especially after the FBI’s seizure of Fulton County ballots.
Ron followed that up, conversing with election data consultant Michael Handelman of Civic Forge Solutions , whose AJC op/ed touched on conspiracy claims being weaponed by sheer complexity — and why Georgia taxpayers keep footing the bill.
Ron also discussed the tragic death of a Savannah teacher during an ICE pursuit, raising tough questions about enforcement tactics and public safety.
Dr. Amy Sharma of Science for Georgia joined to discuss bipartisan legislation aimed at protecting ratepayers from Georgia Power’s data center expansion costs.
