1. K & R Wonderful to see Oprah in Georgia for voters and Stacey's campaign.

Winfrey and Abrams are hosting two town hall meetings on Thursday in Decatur and Marietta, cities in the battleground state, for a discussion on “the critical value of women in leadership and what is at stake for our communities in the election”.
Within hours, tickets to the free town halls were snapped up; messages on Abrams’s campaign website stated: “We’re sorry, but this event has reached maximum capacity.”

Abrams’ Republican rival, Brian Kemp, serves as Georgia secretary of state, a role in which he oversees state elections. Earlier this month, a coalition of state civil rights groups sued Kemp, accusing him of trying to depress minority voter turnout to improve his chances of winning.
Winfrey might also campaign door-to-door with Abrams on Friday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
