About this episode
The episode discusses a federal inquiry into MARTA's spending, conflicting guidance for county elections officials, and explores historical documents from Spelman College at the Atlanta History Center.
The federal government launches an inquiry into MARTA's spending on safety; County elections officials could get different (and conflicting) state guidance on how to count ballots; and we head to the Atlanta History Center in search of what documents from Spelman College's earliest years tell us about the country's earliest days.
