Somewhere I had heard Raphael Warnock is trying to raise money to keep buses offering free rides to the polls in Georgia. Does anyone know where I can find the information of where those buses are located and what company is offering them?

If anyone knows of additional ride share programs. Please post them in the comments, and I will add them to the post.
Edit: It would also be great if someone could cross post this into r/Atlanta and r/Georgia as this would be useful for those communities, but I'm currently not a part of them.
I'm in Cherokee and have been seeing these signs (instead of the usual "Trump GOOD Kamala BAD" signs). Apparently it's not a new thing but I've never noticed them before.
Does anyone know what it's about? Anyone else seeing them?
I'm planning on early voting tomorrow in Fulton county/Atlanta, and when I logged onto the My Voter Page just now to pull my sample ballot someone has changed my residential address from Buckhead to Cascades outside the perimeter. What do I do? This isn't my address and I believe it will affect my ballot as well.
ETA: On the my voter page I have confirmation someone changed my address at 11AM 10/22/24. I desperately need help, I don't know where to start fixing this.
ETA2: If this happens to you, immediately call your county registrar, call the voter protection hotline, and report it on the SOS website. Registrar should be able to fix it but if not protection hotline can help you navigate your rights and options.
Idk about ya'll, but this year has been absolutely awful for my house in terms of mailers, I swear i've gotten about 40 in the past week. They're all hyper sensationalized, with no helpful information on them. Really seems like a waste of paper, and a waste of USPS resources.
MAGA and Trump have suffered a major setback in their plans to disrupt the voting in Georgia by delaying certification of the vote with an Atlanta area judge ruling that under all circumstances, a county board of election must certify its results by the dates required in Georgia law and cannot any circumstances refuse to certify the vote total. Michael Popok analyzes the first of 2 orders to be issued by Judge McBurney to address MAGA’s last-minute plans to try to tip the election to Trump.
