Back on the pulpit: @SenatorWarnock gets a long and loud standing ovation as he’s introduced at his first church service at Ebenezer since Tuesday’s runoff.
“God bless each and every one of you. By the grace of God, we got it done.” #gapol #gasen
Sen. Warnock’s sermon is on how forlorn deserts help forge strength and faith — parallels to campaign season.
“All the attacks. Politics ain’t for the faint of heart …But I know from experience God will show up … God does some of his best work in a desert place.” #gasen #gapol

Not surprisingly, Warnock has a huge early vote advantage as some counties begin to report their totals from the week of early-voting + mail ballots. We are closely watching how Walker does re: Election Day voting — and whether he outdoes his November tally. #gapol #gasen Image
“Get your coffee,” says a Republican strategist as more exurban and rural rallies come in — and the Democrat’s edge tightens. #gapol #gasen Image
Walker is underperforming in some small, rural counties so far -- obv a good sign for Warnock. We won't really have a clear look until more metro ATL votes come in -- particularly the Democratic stronghold of DeKalb, Warnock's best path to victory. #gapol

Vince Todd arrived at his Atlanta polling site just before 7 and was about 50th in line.
“I wanted to see who I wanted in there: Warnock,” Todd told @bycassidy. “I believe in him, so I gotta get out there.”
By 7:25 a.m., he walked out with his prized voter sticker. #gapol #gasen
Ellyce Payne said addressing poverty and mental health care are the deciding issues for her as she cast her ballot in Cobb. She told @taylor_rcroft she worries about deep partisan rifts. “I’m more focused on who you are as a person and your impact on the community.” #gapol #gasen
Jeffrey Farek and Katie Luquire say voting is something they can do about issues like gun control and women’s rights.
“You try to do what you can and a lot of times it feels like it’s hard to know how to help or to feel like you’re being heard,” Farek told @bycassidy. #gasen

Herschel Walker’s final runoff eve rally is at the Governors Gun Club, the nation’s largest indoor shooting facility. Ralph Reed, the prominent evangelical leader, kicks off the event drawing boos from the crowd with each mention of Biden’s name and Warnock’s votes. #gapol #gasen
In a departure from the norm, Herschel’s wife Julie opens for the Republican. Then came the candidate, who said he would use his campaign bus tomorrow to shuttle people to the polls. (I can’t tell if he’s kidding.) #gapol #gasen
Walker: “A house divided cannot stand. We got to start standing now. We have to get in the game and get out to vote. I’m telling you to vote, vote, vote and flood the polls … I’m not going to sleep tonight, because before a big game, I don’t sleep.” #gapol #gasen

Gov. Kemp makes an argument that Herschel Walker has struggled to land: That the Inflation Reduction Act that Warnock supported “is hurting” the enormous Hyundai EV plant that’s under construction now near Savannah. #gapol #gasen
Kemp’s referring to a provision that requires all EVs to undergo final assembly in North America to qualify for lucrative incentives. Since Hyundai’s factory won’t be operational until 2025, the automaker’s customers could lose out on the break. #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
Walker, meanwhile, has panned the EV industry and promoted “gas guzzling” cars as he rails against federal efforts to curb climate change. #gapol #gasen

A Fulton County judge has overturned Georgia's ban on abortion that begins when a doctor can detect a fetal heartbeat, which is as early as six weeks. Here's the ruling: #gapol documentcloud.org/documents/2330…
Judge McBurney wrote that the restrictions were "plainly unconstitutional when drafted, voted upon and enacted" when lawmakers adopted them in 2019, so they can't be enforced now. No immediate comment from Kemp's office. #gapol
The AG's office plans to pursue an immediate appeal but for now Georgia is enjoined from "seeking to enforce in any manner the post-heartbeat ban on abortion procedures in Georgia because there is no legal basis for them to do that which is not the law of this state." #gapol
