\r\nAny registered Georgia voter can vote,\r\neven though the two districts up for election include parts of Atlanta, Augusta, and Savannah,\r\nand nothing in south central Georgia.\r\nIf that seems odd to you, it also does to the people who have been suing about it for around five years, which is why this is the first PSC election in that time.\r\n
