Sad but not surprising. Political climate in Georgia precluded bad actors paying for their crimes. Defendants get off (except Powell, Cheesbro, Ellis & Hall who pled guilty). #CoffeeCounty breach never investigated by the state.

This has to be a record.
In my Georgia county we had THREE municipal elections that are currently sitting at a 1 vote margin pending a provisional ballot hearing. www.mainstreetnews.com/jackson/news...
By just 1 vote: Three municipal races finish with just a 1-vote difference
It was a historic vote in Jackson County this week as three municipal races appear to be separated by only a one vote difference in the unofficial results.

@peterhubbardga.bsky.social City of Atlanta voters, please vote *BEFORE 7pm* on Election Day so you can vote for Peter Hubbard & Alicia Johnson for Public Service Commission! Polls will be open til 8pm but only for ATL contests, not state.
November 4, 2025 at 12:43 AM
And if you’re in city of ATL & see that polls are open til 8pm, don’t wait! They won’t let you vote for PSC after 7pm on Election Day. 😳

It’s time, Georgia!

Vote out the PSC commissioners who raised your power bills 6 TIMES in 2 years!

Early voting: Now - 10/31
Election day: Tues, 11/04

Atlanta voters, please vote before 7pm on Nov 4 so you don’t miss out on Public Service Commission races! Between 7-8pm it’s only for city elections & on provisional ballot. #PeterHubbard #AliciaJohnson
If assumed those voters are all Rep 🔴, then Reps have a slim advantage. but, if Dems 🔵 have >2.2pp of those voters (at least in early vote), then the advantage is 🔵

The TL;DR? The PSC race is achievable for Dems. The GOTV turnout in muni races (esp. #Atlanta) will drive the 11/4 final results

All GA voters can vote on the two Public Service Commission races– districts for PSC don’t matter – they’re elected statewide. PLEASE vote by 7pm. If city polls are open later it’ll only be for city races, not state & you’d miss this opportunity for changing who regulates our utilities!
"A vote is a kind of prayer..."

The PSC decides what Georgia Power customers pay for energy and whether that energy comes from clean sources or fossil fuels.

Tomorrow is election day. Make a plan and pledge to #vote: gipl.org/vote

BREAKING: City of Atlanta voters can vote until 8 PM on Election Day

But Atlantans who arrive at polls after 7 PM can’t vote in the Georgia PSC elections and must use provisional ballots.

Fox News earned their reputation as the world's fakest 'fake news.' Nothing they say or post can be trusted. They're worse than Weekly World News.

When they resort to using one of their own 'crisis actors' to impersonate others in order to promote their chosen lie/propaganda, you know it's bad.
