Monday on Political Rewind, in-person early voting begins but there will be fewer polling places open than usual. Measures are being taken at many locations to keep both voters, and poll workers, safe.

But will it be enough to make voters feel safe enough to participate? 

And, we were joined by the president of Albany’s primary medical center. After months of worldwide attention for the dire situation in southwest Georgia, what is the latest news?

Panelists:

Scott Steiner – President and CEO, Phoebe Putney Medical Center

Dr. Camara Jones – MD and Professor of community health and preventive medicine, Morehouse School of Medicine

Dr. Harry Heiman – MD & Professor of health management and policy, Georgia State University

Jim Galloway – Lead political writer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
