In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek. His value was placed at $1,400. More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter was elected governor of Georgia. By @erniesuggs ajc.com/politics/2026/11/kei…

The Georgia turnout estimate from Raffensperger ticks up to 1.4M, which is closer to what Republicans know they need as a baseline to be competitive tonight. More—>
Georgia voters have now cast more than 775,000 ballots so far today and state officials project a 1.4M Election Day turnout. Republicans are guardedly optimistic or downright despondent, depending on who you talk to. #gapol
