Anthropic no more accessed "voter data" in Georgia than anyone does when they read the election results in a newspaper. The GA SOS website has a data hub that shares election statistics, not individual voter information. Beware claims that the latter occurred.

Good morning, Georgia! A friendly reminder during early voting that it is illegal to record marking your ballot in a polling place. This provision is important for election integrity. It deters individuals from intimidating others *and* helps prevent vote-buying schemes. #gapol

This is a illegal to record in Georgia. As I warn nearly every election cycle, do not do this, friends.

For comparison, the Biden administration sent monitors to three Georgia counties in 2022: Fulton, Cobb, and Gwinnett.

A new analysis shows early in-person voting among Black Georgians is up 33% compared with the first nine days of voting in 2022, while turnout among voters under 30 has jumped 54%. Among young Black voters, the increase is an eye-popping 80%. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/dem…

Democrats see promising signs in Georgia’s early vote

Black and younger voters are heading to the polls at a significantly faster clip than during the last midterm election, a new analysis finds.

Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.
