]]> The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Megan.Nadolski@ajc.com The Final Tally Today’s Flagship episode features the first installment of a three-part narrative series examining how Georgia became the epicenter of a national fight over election administration, public trust and democratic governance.  In 2020, as Joe Biden's narrow victory emerged, false claims of voter fraud spread across the state, turning Fulton County into the center of a national firestorm.     AJC reporters Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy, and David Wickert and Tia Mitchell take listeners inside the recounts, conspiracy theories, threats against election workers, and the pressure campaign that culminated in Donald Trump's infamous call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. It's the story of how Georgia became the epicenter of "Stop the Steal" and why the fight didn't end when the votes were counted.  To hear the rest of the series, check out the Politically Georgia podcast feed.  If you love this podcast ... there’s more where that came from.
