BREAKING: Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard dealt the GOP a significant blow Tuesday night, prying statewide seats away from Republican incumbents on the powerful Georgia Public Service Commission. Read more about election results below. ⬇️🗳️

Today is Election Day!! 🗳️ Two seats on the Public Service Commission are on the ballot. They decide where energy comes from and how much customers pay for that energy. Polls close at 7 p.m. tonight. Find your polling location and sample ballot: mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/ #FaithInAction #Vote

All GA voters can vote on the two Public Service Commission races– districts for PSC don’t matter – they’re elected statewide. PLEASE vote by 7pm. If city polls are open later it’ll only be for city races, not state & you’d miss this opportunity for changing who regulates our utilities!

"A vote is a kind of prayer..." The PSC decides what Georgia Power customers pay for energy and whether that energy comes from clean sources or fossil fuels. Tomorrow is election day. Make a plan and pledge to #vote: gipl.org/vote Learn more: www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news...
