Closer Look with Rose Scott

Since July, according to an Associated Press report, more than 63,000 voter registrations have been challenged in Georgia, and roughly 1% of the people called into question have been removed from the state's voting rolls. Despite the low percentage of questionable enrollees, lawsuits are reportedly still being filed to order counties to do more. Associated Press reporter Jeff Amy discusses the latest.

Plus, Comcast and Inspiredu recently opened a flagship Lift Zone in Atlanta to advance digital equity and drive economic growth. The new center offers free internet access and digital skills training. Melinda Little, vice president of Government Affairs for Comcast's 'Big South' region, talks more about the new facility and how it will serve as a connection hub for Georgians.

Lastly, Aku Kadogo, a senior lecturer for the Department of Theater & Performance at Spelman College, and Spelman student Maddison Gardner, discuss an upcoming musical showcase called Sankofunktopia. The event inspired by George Clinton and Parliament- Funkadelic’s album, “Funkentelechy vs The Placebo Syndrome,” is slated for Nov. 7 - 9 at 7 p.m. and again on Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. at the Baldwin Burroughs Theatre.
