This episode visits Clarkston, Georgia, home to over 40 different nationalities, to document its November 2013 city council and mayoral election - in which three former refugees were on the ballot. In this half-hour program, America By The Numbers anchor Maria Hinojosa returns to Clarkston to chronicle the stories of former refugees, many from war-torn countries, who are exercising voting rights and actively engaging in democracy as political candidates and election workers for the first time. Through their stories, we see the impact the dream of democracy and citizenship has on immigrants and many of the South's new residents.
