Here's a recap of today, from me and Joan E Greve:

Georgia's secretary of state is reportedly investigating whether Lin Wood -- a pro-Trump attorney who has falsely undermined the US election system and baselessly alleged voter fraud - voted illegally.

The Georgia Secretary of State's Office has launched an investigation into whether Wood was eligible to vote in Georgia, whether he broke the law by casting his ballot and whether he was actually a Georgia resident.

Sources at the secretary of state's office say an email that Wood sent to [WSBTV reporter Justin] Gray caused them to launch an official investigation.
