Breaking: @AJC poll show @GovKemp’s approval ratings on the rise; Trump still underwater in Georgia #gapol ajc.com/news/state--re…
@ajc @GovKemp The poll shows 46% of registered Georgia voters have a favorable impression of Kemp as he nears his third month as governor, 9 points higher than the 37% rating he tallied in the AJC’s January poll as he was sworn into office. #gapol ajc.com/news/state--re…
@ajc @GovKemp U.S. Sen. David Perdue, a first-term Republican facing a tough re-election in 2020, fared about the same as he did in January, with 47 percent of Georgia voters rating him favorably, compared with 45 percent at the beginning of the year. #gapol ajc.com/news/state--re…
A federal judge just issued a 43-page ruling with a split decision involving rejected ballots in the Georgia governor race. #gapol
The judge denied @staceyabrams request to count provisional ballots that were cast outside their county of residence, and accepted her request to require all counties to accept absentee ballots with errors or omissions in voters’ birthdates. #gapol 
It’s not immediately clear how many ballots the ruling will effect. Gwinnett County was already ordered to accept absentee ballots with birthdate errors, and county officials said more than 300 could be affected. Kemp’s campaign pegged the number at around 400. #gapol
The state just released details of its unsuccessful bid to land Amazon’s second headquarters that were previously shielded by state law from being disclosed to the public. #gapol
The state’s incentive package would have topped $2B for the project, including a $100M state investment in the site the company chose. #gapol
The biggest incentive would come from a boosted “mega project tax credit” that would have been valued at $1.3B+ for HQ2. #gapol
A federal judge just issued a 56 page order that could affect thousands of provisional ballots in Georgia's race for governor. #gapol
The order by Judge Amy Totenberg blocks the Secretary of State from certifying the election until Friday and directs state and local officials to conduct a review of many of the provisional ballots. #gapol
The state also has to provide new, rolling updates of why provisional ballots were rejected and to set up a hotline for voters so they can determine whether their provisional ballots were counted. #gapol

As @staceyabrams prepares to make victory speech, a supporter yells: "you look like a governor!" #gapol
“We are writing the next chapter of Georgia history, where no one is unseen, no one is unheard and no one is uninspired,” a jubilant Abrams said, adding: “And I know for the journey ahead, we need every voice in our party, and every independent thinker in the state.” #gapol
“Together we will shape a future with a boundless belief in the historic investment of children who are at the very core of every decision we make.”
