The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating allegations involving a Cobb County commissioner and voodoo

A woman who practices voodoo in South Carolina claims commissioner Annette Kesting wanted her to put a curse on the opponent who defeated Kesting in August 2008. The voodoo priestess, George Ann Mills of Blythewood, S.C., filed a report with Cobb County police claiming Kesting's checks for the ceremony bounced. Kesting was soundly defeated in mid-August, and according to the voodoo priestess she wanted challenger Woody Thompson to either develop cancer or be involved in a car wreck. The woman claims Kesting gave her pictures of Thompson and wrote her $3,000 worth of checks, but those checks bounced. The voodoo rituals were apparently never performed. Kesting said her bank book had been stolen and that she had never visited a voodoo high priestess in South Carolina. Thompson won the August primary with 69% of the vote.
