A Clean Win In Georgia Republican Clay Fuller won the race for Georgia’s 14th District by a solid 11 points, defeating Democrat Shawn Harris 55.9 percent to 44.1 percent.

DHS later said it reviewed country conditions and consulted other agencies before deciding Ethiopia no longer met the standard. The agency also said it disagreed with the ruling, which is the usual federal response to being told no in public.
