The polls are closed in Georgia and Game Six of the World Series is about to start. An epic day in Atlanta as baseball and politics collide once again. #gapol
The setup at @mooreforatlanta’s watch party in downtown Atlanta … #gapol
Me and about two other people in this slowly growing election watch party just went nuts over Soler’s three run shot
Live shot from @RElliotWSB
Felicia Moore gets a rousing ovation as she enters her watch party for the first time. #gapol
I’m trying not to be a complete wreck at this election watch party. But holy crap. Braves up 6-0.
Says Moore:
“You know what, I want the Braves to win, and I want to win,” she said, as the crowd drowned out her words. #gapol
Updates: Council Prez Felicia Moore has a large early lead, with former Mayor Kasim Reed and Councilman Andre Dickens locked in a tight race for the No. 2 spot in a likely runoff.
Oh, and the Braves are up 6-0 in the sixth. (!!)
Ok, @mooreforatlanta is coming down to address her crowd of supporters as the Braves are five outs away from the first World Series championship since 1995. #gapol
In top of the ninth, Felicia Moore is about to celebrate her spot in the Atlanta mayoral runoff. #gapol #atlpol
“We do not know who will be in the runoff but I’m confident people have heard our message of change and agree with us that Atlanta deserves Moore,” she says.

Also bottom of the ninth in World Series clinching game for Braves. Serenity now. #gapol

Here’s the Republican-led Georgia House’s map of state House legislative districts to be considered during the special legislative session that starts tomorrow. #gapol
I'm told the Georgia House's version of congressional maps are expected later during the special session -- not today. But we won't be shocked if the new lines make re-election harder for Georgia's north metro suburban Democrats. #gapol ajc.com/politics/how-g…
Close up on north metro state House districts, where some Democrats who flipped legislative seats over the past two cycles could be in trouble in 2022. #gapol

The Braves lost their most dynamic player, their ace starter, their 2020 Triple Crown threat. They were supposed to fold at the trade deadline. Lose every playoff matchup. Their unflappable starter broke his leg in Game One of the World Series. Yet … here we are. And here we go! Image

Just in: The head of the GBI told the state GOP chairman that there’s not enough evidence to pursue claims of ballot harvesting in the 2020 elections based on cellphone signals collected by a conservative organization. W/ @markniesse #gapol ajc.com/politics/gbi-c…
It’s the latest in a string of setbacks to allies of former President Donald Trump who have leveled false accusations of widespread voting fraud while seeking to overturn his narrow November election defeat in Georgia. #gapol ajc.com/politics/gbi-c…

U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock raised more than $9.5M during the third quarter, an enormous sum that highlights the extensive fundraising infrastructure the Democrat has built for a re-election bid that will help decide control of the Senate. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
Warnock ended the quarter with more than $17.2 million in cash on hand, more than any Georgia U.S. Senate campaign has reported at this stage in the election cycle. He collected contributions from more than 145,000 donors during the period. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
Republican Senate candidate @LathamSaddler will report raising $1.1M this quarter, for a total haul of $2.5M since entering the race earlier this year. #gapol #gasen Image

No, the Fulton County GOP has not endorsed @mooreforatlanta’s campaign for mayor, the chair tells me. So does Burt Jones, the GOP candidate for LG who is pictured in one of the fliers going around. #gapol #atlpol
Says Fulton GOP chair Trey Kelly:
“The image is a manufactured photo. We have supporters backing Reed, Moore and all the other candidates being it's a non-partisan election.” #gapol #atlpol
The Fulton GOP hosted a meet-and-greet for Moore last week, though other candidates are also courting Republican support. Here’s an invite to a Buckhead Young Republicans event with Reed later this month, sure to focus on the cityhood push he opposes. #gapol #atlpol Image
