Here are the top three stories today in Johns Creek:

1. Georgia's new Election Integrity Act says Georgia citizens can challenge a voter's eligibility an unlimited number of times. Recently, some early voters have reported having their eligibility challenged without knowing the reason why. Jennifer Jones, a Morehouse School of Medicine PhD student, told The Guardian that when she tried to vote early at her precinct in Fulton County, she was denied without receiving a reason. (The Guardian)
2. A Fulton County magistrate judge was suspended for two weeks after setting a $2.00 bond for Alijah Sharp, who is facing serious charges. Sharp was charged with aggravated assault, misdemeanor battery family violence, cruelty to children third degree, and terroristic threats. A new bond order was set for $120,000. (WSB-TV Atlanta)
