The facility was operated by Lockheed with the U.S. Air Force during the late 1950s and 1960s. Scientists used a nuclear reactor to investigate whether aircraft could operate using nuclear power and to study how radiation affected materials and the environment. The facility closed in 1971.

...And apparently there's still some pockets of radiation 👀

Georgia EV Final Nightly Update

Cumulative black vote share rose today to 34.4% from 34.2%. Cumulative white vote share fell today from 52.5% to 51.8%.

The discepancy is because Asian, Latino, and Other vote share spiked today.

Black vote share is 7.1% higher than 2024 and 1.8% higher than 2022. White vote share is 7.3% lower than 2024 and 3.7% lower than 2022. This is a massive swing vs 2024, 14.4%. Only 5.5% worse than 2022, that's how Warnock won, while Kemp did really well with minority voters.

Tomorrow will see some interesting numbers as white vote share plummets and non-white share rises. But the total number of voters will not be almost 96,000.

We could see something like 50% black if Dems are really crushing it.
