Early voting is underway for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District runoff between Clay Fuller and Shawn Harris, with Election Day set for April 7.

A renewed grand jury indictment against Democrat Cobb County Clerk of Superior Court Connie Taylor has brought fresh scrutiny to allegations of public record destruction and a long-standing Georgia law that allowed clerks to personally collect passport processing fees.

Lawmakers have since moved to close the loophole, even as the legal case continues.
