The get-out-the-vote effort in the swing state of Georgia was strong with the help of the AFTVotes bus that rolled into Atlanta on Oct. 28. It was one of the stops on a 20-state, month-long tour to rally voters on behalf of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Biden and Harris narrowly prevailed in Georgia, the first time a majority of voters in the state had voted for a Democrat for president since Bill Clinton won the state in 1992. On hand to greet AFT President Randi Weingarten (right) were members of the local UFT Retired Teachers Chapter section.
