Election conspiracies and data center utility costs add up – for GA residents

todayFebruary 18, 2026

Background

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.
