Notes on this record

How the lists were read, and what could not be.

Candidates: Fulton County Registration & Elections consolidated sample ballot for the November 3, 2026 General & Special Election (PDF, Last-Modified 2026-10-08), linked from fultoncountyga.gov/fultonvotes → Sample Ballots. The Georgia SOS qualified-candidate pages (sos.ga.gov, mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/qualifying-candidate-information) sit behind a Cloudflare managed challenge and were not bypassed, so the county's official ballot is the candidate list. Name and party as printed (e.g. 'Democrat' on the ballot = Democratic). The sample ballot prints no Libertarian or independent candidates for these offices. Primary nominees cross-checked against SOS official results for the May 19, 2026 primary and June 16, 2026 primary runoff (results.sos.ga.gov API, isOfficialResults true): Mike Collins beat Derek Dooley and Rick Jackson beat Burt Jones in the Republican runoffs; Keisha Lance Bottoms won the Democratic governor primary outright; Mathewos Samson won the HD-58 Democratic runoff. Write-ins and primary losers excluded.
Contests for Atlanta's offices: U.S. Senate Jon Ossoff (D, inc.) vs Mike Collins (R); Governor open (Brian Kemp term-limited): Rick Jackson (R) vs Keisha Lance Bottoms (D); GA-5 Nikema Williams (D, inc.) vs John 'BONGO' Salvesen (R); GA-6 Lucy McBath (D, inc.) vs Kevin E. Martin (R); SD-36 Nan Grogan Orrock (D, inc.) vs Katie Corkren (R); HD-58 open (Park Cannon not running): Mathewos Samson (D) vs Torrey Balam (R). None unopposed. Atlanta's DeKalb County part (about 7% of the city by area) votes the same federal and statewide contests; the DeKalb sample ballot was not needed for City Hall's seats and was not read.
Congressional districts covering the city: Census TIGERweb polygon for Atlanta city (place 1304000) sampled on a 160x160 grid (14,088 points inside the city) against the 120th (layer 0) and 119th (layer 4) Congressional Districts — identical: GA-5 (8,592 points), GA-6 (5,495). No points fell in GA-4, GA-11 or GA-13. Counties by the same grid: Fulton 13,152, DeKalb 935, Cobb 1 (edge sliver). Slivers under ~0.2 km could be missed. City Hall (55 Trinity Ave SW) geocodes to GA-5, SD-36, HD-58 (2026 state legislative layers).
State legislative districts covering the city by the same grid (2026 layers): Senate 14, 35, 36, 38, 39, 44; House 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 89, 90 (plus 11-point slivers of 84 and 86). Only City Hall's districts are recorded as people, per the brief.
Sitting U.S. Representatives from https://www.house.gov/representatives (Georgia table), retrieved 2026-10-22. U.S. Senators (Jon Ossoff, Raphael G. Warnock, both Democratic): senate.gov returns HTTP 403 (Akamai) — taken from the CC0 @unitedstates legislators-current.json (Ossoff term ends 2027-01-03, Warnock 2029-01-03). No federal photos linked.
Governor Brian P. Kemp from gov.georgia.gov (site title); party from the SOS official 2022 general-election results. Georgia General Assembly (legis.ga.gov) is an Angular app whose member API requires a token computed from an obfuscated client key; that was not worked around, so SD-36 Nan Orrock and HD-58 Park Elizabeth Cannon come from the SOS official November 5, 2024 general-election results (both unopposed then) and are marked "unofficial": true. SOS special-election results for 2025–2026 (SD-35, SD-18, SD-53, HD-94, HD-130, HD-177, GA-13, GA-14) show no vacancy in SD-36 or HD-58.
Municipal: atlantaga.gov and citycouncil.atlantaga.gov return an Akamai 'Access Denied' to every request (curl and WebFetch, including robots.txt), and atlantacityga.iqm2.com redirects to the blocked council site — none bypassed. The Mayor, Council President and 15 Council Members (3 at-large posts, 12 districts) are therefore taken from the Georgia SOS official results for the November 4, 2025 Municipal General Election (results.sos.ga.gov API; Fulton and DeKalb summed; isOfficialResults true, as of 2025-11-21). Atlanta elections are nonpartisan (no party on the ballot): party null, partyShort 'None'. Terms began 2026-01-05. Districts 7 and 11 went to the December 2, 2025 runoff, which is not on the SOS results site for Fulton; Thomas Worthy (D7) and Wayne Martin (D11) are the runoff winners per news only (CBS News Atlanta) and are marked unofficial — re-check against the City Council page when reachable. No later vacancy found. Atlanta's elected Municipal Court judges (nine retention-style contests on the 2025 ballot) and the Atlanta Board of Education are not recorded (judges are not charter executive/legislative offices; school skipped per brief).
City of Atlanta elections: every four years in odd years (2017, 2021, 2025). Next municipal general election: November 6, 2029 (Tuesday after the first Monday in November) — date inferred from the cycle; no official 2029 calendar was readable. Mayor Andre Dickens is serving his second consecutive and final term.
Robots/terms: fultoncountyga.gov (robots.txt allows; disallows only /springboard-page*; no reuse licence stated on the sample ballot), results.sos.ga.gov (no robots.txt — 404; public results API used read-only), house.gov (allows), gov.georgia.gov (allows; '© Georgia'), geocoding.geo.census.gov and tigerweb.geo.census.gov (public Census services), unitedstates.github.io (CC0). Blocked, not bypassed: atlantaga.gov and citycouncil.atlantaga.gov (Akamai 403), senate.gov (Akamai 403), sos.ga.gov and mvp.sos.ga.gov (Cloudflare challenge), results.enr.clarityelections.com (CloudFront 403). legis.ga.gov token API not used.
No home addresses, phones or personal emails recorded. No photos linked (the City's pages could not be read; no federal photos chosen). standsFor null for everyone (no candidate statements read). Wikipedia, Ballotpedia and news were used only to find official lists, except the D7/D11 runoff winners noted above.
