Monday on Political Rewind, Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta will soon take in more than 30 Georgians who have been quarantined on a cruise ship off the coast of California.

The passengers will be tested for the virus and kept in quarantine at Dobbins for at least 14 days.

And more than 82,000 people voted early in the Georgia presidential preference primary during the first week of open polls, a huge increase over 2016 figures.

We’ll break down those numbers, and what the high turn-out could mean for the election.

Panelists:

Jim Galloway — Lead Political Writer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Lori Geary — Georgia Gang Host
