I’m in my favorite #NICAR25 session. Not only are they playing Taylor Swift and using her song as as data, I’m learning how to write better R code.

I can't think of anyone better than Amy Simons to earn this honor. I'm the journalist I am today in part because of her mentorship and leadership. Today, I am also fortunate to still call her a mentor and most of all, a friend.

I felt the enormity of what Jimmy Carter meant to the world when I walked up to his casket today at the Carter Center, and experiencing his life through the museum exhibit was a special experience today ajc.com/jimmy-carter/atlanta…

Polls in Georgia open at 7 am. Here's what we know about the more than 4 million registered (not just active!) voters who can cast a ballot today. In short, counties that voted for Biden in 2020 have more voters up for grabs (but its close) #gapol ajc.com/politics/election/he…

As an aside... we look at all registered voters, not just those that are inactive, in most cases. For example, more than 55,000 folks who were "inactive" at the end of voter registration in October, cast a ballot pre-Election Day.
