Where is Georgia baseball ranked in USA TODAY Baseball Coaches top 25?

Georgia baseball stayed comfortable in the top five of the latest edition of the USA Today Baseball Coaches Poll that was released Monday.

The Bulldogs haven’t been any higher than their current No. 5 ranking, but with their 21-2 record, haven’t dropped out of the top 10 either. The steadiness comes after they toppled Kentucky 2-1 to open SEC play at Foley Field over the weekend. Georgia took game one 12-6 and game three 17-10, but the Wildcats split the series in game two with a 10-7 win.

Georgia is one of 11 SEC teams in the poll: Tennessee (1), LSU (2), Arkansas (3), Texas (7), Oklahoma (9), Florida (11), Alabama (12), Auburn (16), Ole Miss (18) and Vanderbilt (19).

The Bulldogs return to the diamond Friday through Sunday at Condron Family Ballpak in Gainesville, Fla., against the No. 11 Gators. Games are slated for 6:30 p.m. Friday, noon Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. There will be no midweek competition for Georgia baseball this week.

Proposed Georgia bill restricts voting to U.S. citizens

Proposed Georgia bill restricts voting to U.S. citizens

GEORGIA, Ga. (WALB) — A new bill introduced to the Georgia Senate could create a constitutional amendment to restrict voting to legal U.S. citizens.

The bill, Senate Resolution 4EX says, “No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people.”

If passed, Georgians will vote on the constitutional amendment in the November election.

Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger said “I have been calling on the legislature for years to pass this amendment to the state constitution. I am glad to see the legislature finally act to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections.”

According to Raffensperger, Georgia was the first state in the nation to conduct citizen verification of voter rolls. Since 2022, Raffensperger’s office conducted two citizenship audits of Georgia’s voter rolls.

SR 4EX Text

“Casting a vote is one of the most important elements of American citizenship. Any illegal vote dilutes the value of a citizen’s lawfully cast ballot. U.S. Citizens should decide Georgia elections. Period. I urge the legislature to pass this important legislation.”

The state uses information from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to identify people who are non-citizens. This data is based on documents provided to DDS, through its REAL ID drivers licenses or state identification cards.

That information is also ran through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to verify an individual’s citizenship status.
