A Democratic Georgia congressman who represents parts of metro Atlanta has not cast a vote in his area's last six elections, records show.
Documents obtained by CBS News Atlanta via a public records request from the Georgia Secretary of State's office show that Rep. David Scott did not vote in multiple recent elections, including the 2024 presidential election.
The most recent election in which the 80-year-old Scott participated was the general primary in May 2024, in which he voted absentee. Along with the presidential vote in November, it appears that Scott did not vote for himself for reelection.
While most of the elections that Scott missed were municipal, the record shows that he did not vote in the state Georgia Public Service Commission election on Tuesday, an election that state Democrats had made a priority to win.

Fun fact, Hank Aaron is/was his brother in law.
