Temperatures overnight will fall between 32° and 36°F. This combined with light winds will be conductive for frost formation in the higher elevations of northeast Georgia.

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
