  • A first-of-its-kind ballot-image audit conducted in all 159 counties after this month's elections found discrepancies on only 87 of the nearly 5.3 million ballots cast across Georgia on Nov. 5. All but one of those discrepancies occurred on hand-marked paper ballots.

The article from the Ledger-Enquirer discusses the ongoing debate over the use of the Confederate Memorial of the Wind in Columbus, Georgia, as a site for a new whitewater park. The park, which would be part of a $70 million project, has sparked controversy due to the monument's Confederate associations. Local leaders and community members are divided; some see the park as an economic boon that could revitalize the area, while others, including the Sons of Confederate Veterans, argue that the monument should be preserved as part of Southern heritage. The debate touches on broader issues of historical memory, racial justice, and economic development, with city officials like Mayor Skip Henderson advocating for the project while acknowledging the need to address the monument's implications sensitively. The article highlights the tension between progress and preservation, with public opinion split on how best to honor history while moving forward.
