• Person reportedly hit by train in Union City incident (11alive.com) — Emergency crews shut down part of Highway 29/Roosevelt Highway Tuesday morning after Union City police reported a person was hit by a train, though their condition remains unknown. Authorities from Union City Police, Union City Fire, Georgia State Patrol, and Grady Memorial Hospital responded to manage the scene and investigate what led to the collision. 
• Justice Department seeks the names of 2020 election workers in Georgia's Fulton County (vernonreporter.com) — Federal investigators are seeking names and contact details for everyone who worked Fulton County’s 2020 election, while county lawyers push back, calling the subpoena overbroad and intimidating. A related FBI search earlier this year focused on Fulton’s main election hub in Union City, tying the national legal fight directly to a facility in the community.
