The go-to bar orders for Georgia' s top candidates
Illustration: Allie Carl/Axios It's the day before the midterms. You've been bombarded with Senate and gubernatorial candidates' arguments for months — on the airwaves and in your mailbox. You probably know more about them than you might care to know. What they're drinking: On this Election Eve, we wanted to tell you something you probably don't know: their go-to drinks at a bar.

Herschel Walker R
