Man, what they say about the NY Times really is true isn’t it…?
Last year, @vescoisland.bsky.social flagged for me that Keisha Lance Bottoms's biggest obstacle to becoming governor has been that she left being mayor of Atlanta after one term. It's dogged her throughout her race. #GAPol

If someone wants a story, they should follow the money trail and industry behind highway expansions…
This is getting absurd. Wasn’t the $25B figure questioned as potentially financially infeasible and now it’s 6x that amount ?
Can we get an auditor on these numbers ?

Dems have been more enthusiastic, but do Republican voters still show up in this last week? Do they catch up on Election Day? Had far down the low propensity voter rolls can each party get?
Now you can see turnout percentage to date for people who voted in the 2026 primary. Because Georgia doesn't have party registration, this is one of the better ways to get a feel for partisan turnout and enthusiasm.

Truly the only early voting analysis that matters.
All the places we expected them to spend the last week of this campaign at the start of this year.

Is it just me or is a poll in the middle of early voting with 9% still unknown/undecided pretty rare?

Just far too much of an outlier to be voter behavior alone.

That weird over-performance we're seeing in Cherokee and Forsyth counties? That's because those counties had fewer early voting locations open during the first week of 2022 compared to the first week of 2026.

It’s also just the fact that most people showing up are typically against ANYTHING
Older people who want to pay lower property taxes should be able to downsize into an age-appropriate home that requires less upkeep without having to leave the communities where they raised their families; but they oppose that because they feel entitled to a fixed, unchanging neighborhood character.

When I am quick to blame planners and engineers when people die on our streets, this is why.
What is this sad excuse for “pedestrian” infrastructure?
These are taken at the 4 corners of Due West Road and Mars Hill in West Cobb.
What a joke.

The transformation of energy does not need oil companies to lead; it needs them to phase down while new industries phase up."

This is huge. Having bike parking be front and center has 2 benefits:
1. Visible so it’s less likely someone steals it
2. Daily reminders of having a different option than driving.

I park my e-cargo bike right in front of the office on the sidewalk every day, and part of the point is to get my colleagues asking me about it.
One benefit of going into an office occasionally again is more opportunities for discussing cargo bikes and kids with people interested, since I either bike or walk to work.
So fun to show people the possibilities!

Congrats to everyone involved in this election! We now have 4 more years of a Democratic-led Cobb County! Let’s continue moving Cobb County forward!
Cobb County isn’t a bellwether, but its shifts from suburban GOP bastion to Democratic stronghold over the past decade have helped reshape Georgia’s political landscape. And Tuesday’s special election gave Democrats plenty of reason to cheer. #gapol

Cobb County stays blue as Democrats maintain county commission majority
Democrats won two special elections on Tuesday, continuing the county's blue streak that began with the 2016 presidential election.

In Georgia, the state legislature is trying to completely ban camera enforcement of speeding.
Right now, they are only allowed in school zones.
We’d rather prioritize unsafe driving than the safety of our kids.

Over 44,000 people die in the US each year from vehicular violence and yet we'll do anything not to hold reckless drivers accountable for their actions.

This picture shows over 200,000 Cobb residents not being represented because Republicans in the GA state legislature redistricted Cobb’s Commission Districts to draw Jerica Richardson out of the district she represents.
It’s a shame that it’s not a bigger story.
