#GAGov GOP primary by congressional district (per @jonathanelecmap). Things were VERY inconclusive in the metro ATL CDs (no clear leader in 4+6+11) but Jones cleans up everywhere else. Where do everyone else's voters go and do the dynamics of a runoff favor Jones or Jackson?
Many saying this isn't an indicator. It is. While its not perfectly predictive, a simple linear model with Georgia's generic Congressional vote as Y (from @SplitTicket_ ) and primary turnout advantage as X has an R^2 of 0.50, and predicts a shift from R+5.2% in '24 to R+1.3%.
The Georgia Lieutenant Governor Republican Primary has one of the coolest precinct maps I've seen in a while. Notable that Kennedy, Dolezal, Tiller, Clark, and Gooch all won handily in their respective State Senate/House districts.
I received a file with all 2,133 polling locations in Georgia for the May 19th primary. Using that file, here are some interesting stats on demographic access to polling places! The Poisson regression shows that differences are mostly due to urbanicity.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV on Trump’s warning to Iran of “civilization” destruction —
“This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people.”
He adds the war is “continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything… is only provoking more hatred throughout the world.”
“attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.”

Trump believes he is threatening Iran with destruction, but it is America that now stands in danger.
If he attempts to eradicate Iranian civilization, the United States will no longer be viewed as a stabilizing force in the world, but as an agent of chaos—effectively ending our status as the world’s greatest superpower.
This would upend our economy and shatter the global order. The process is already underway, yet we still have time to avert catastrophe if Trump finds the courage to pursue serious negotiations rather than reckless rage and destruction.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Archbishop Timothy Broglio, head of the US military archdiocese, says the Iran war “does not meet just war criteria” and is therefore not morally justified.
Broglio warned Catholic troops they are not bound to obey every order in such a conflict, advising them to “do as little harm as possible” and protect innocent lives. He noted US law allows objection to war in general, not specific conflicts.
Broglio also called Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of Jesus to justify the war “problematic,” saying it is “hard to cast this war as something sponsored by the Lord.”

This is the most alarming stat you will read today.
Foreign-born employment is growing 42x faster than native-born since 2019. FORTY-TWO TIMES.
The March jobs report just confirmed it.
Hassett: "Last night, I was in a restaurant and I asked every waiter, 'How much money did you make?' now that they're doing their taxes because of the no tax on tips. The lowest answer was $3,000 and the highest was $10,000. This is really an economy that can't be slowed down."
The days of tolerating the intolerable in the name of multiculturalism must immediately end. Western nations must now be far more robust in defending our way of life.
Because time is running out.
When you vote for a candidate you are voting not just for a person but for an entire organization. A vast stricture that is employed below, beneath, above and around them.
So when you vote to elect any Democrat you are putting to work an entire governing system: “criminal justice” advocates who will work relentlessly to keep monsters out of prison, officials charged with publicly safety who will instead zealously dismantle it, immigrant lawyers and activists who will work tirelessly to deluge your city with migrants and “refugees”, educators who will indoctrinate your children to hate themselves and their heritage, bureaucrats who are true-believing marxist radicals running the machinery of government, DEI zealots to enforce their agenda at every agency and every business they can extort, regulators to extract the last drop of productivity out of the economy to enrich leftist NGOs, leftist lawyers and leftist community organizers, and a government staffed at every level by those who lack the skill or vision to build anything but relish the opportunity to unravel everything that makes society beautiful, sacred and whole.
