Early voting was a huge success.
Actually, that’s an understatement. In some areas of metro Atlanta, the wait was over 3 hours. Here in my small neck of the woods (Cartersville), the line was out the door (and it was a long hallway to the voting booth once you were in the door).

The SoS is projecting a 70+ percent turnout, which is doubly interesting since there are really no big races that are in question (one congressional race is a tossup, but the rest would be shockers if the incumbent lost) and Bush should win in a walkover.

So, for all the talk about the new voters, one must keep in mind that the existing voters are quite hyped, as well. And for every cell phone user who is never polled, there’s a military vet currently serving that isn’t, either.

There are two main amendments: the gay marriage amendment to the constitution and one that streamlines how the legal process affects the courts. A sample ballot is here.

My advice….get there when the polls open. That’s what I’m doing & I’ll have two sleepy kids with me.
