• Some feel silenced as Georgia lawmakers decide on voting bill (blackchronicle.com) — Sylvania residents are represented directly in a new Georgia voting bill, authored by local Republican Sen. Max Burns, that would shape how ballots are cast and audited for the next decade. The proposal expands touchscreen voting, creates a vendor-selection committee, and delays a QR-code voting ban, drawing criticism from election-integrity advocates and Democrats who say they were shut out of the rushed committee process.
