Just got back from voting-Flowery Branch, Ga.
Everything appeared to go well, and they were very busy, compared to the last mid-term when I voted. They had 6 machines. all were in use, and there was still a waiting line time of about 15 mins. I mentioned to the guy who checked my registration and gave me the voting card that I was pleasantly surprised at how busy they were. He said "Well, this is an important election." I responded that I was sure glad to see so many of our citizens also realize that!

I double checked my summary screen as did my hubby, and all looked fine. I can only hope they don't manipulate the results when they get to Atlanta ffor consolidation!

2. I voted in Suwanee. Lines @ 10am. The poll worker was telling the
door watcher that they'd need to hold the line outside.

Machines constantly in use. It was beautiful. The poll workers sung a little diddy for a young male first-time voter.

3. What color communities in GA are those?
If they are known to be red, I hope they turn blue!

9. Well these are pretty dyed in the wool I think we'd get purple and I'd
be pretty damn proud of that feat.

6. some how I suspect
the election is important to your neighbors for the opposite reason as it is to you.

Flowery Branch has got to be red as heck.

glad to hear it went smooth though.

8. Flowery Branchused to be very red, but there have been a LOT of new
homes built here and most of the people are new to Ga. I can only hope that the newbies are Demsor at least Ind's, and I suspect even the red folks aren't REAL happy with this current admin!
