A paper ballot is dropped into a ballot box.

Friday on Political Rewind, early voting begins next week. Absentee ballot voting will no doubt play a crucial role in the upcoming election.

Panelists:

Amy Steigerwalt — Professor of Political Science, Georgia State University

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