Sen. Warnock in Atlanta: "I want you to hear the tragic irony of a man guilty of sexual assault saying he's going to do something for women whether they like it or not. America, pay attention. That's the language of a predator. And we don’t need a predator in the White House." #Trump #Georgia

Your friendly neighborhood poll worker would like to remind you: It's against the law in most states to wear items that promote a candidate into a polling place. Many states have expanded this to coded language such as "Let's Go Brandon" gear, "Childless cat lady" clothes, etc.
