Saw a brief clip from WSB-TV in Atlanta yesterday, and they reported 3-5 hour wait times to vote. Crowd outside the polling place had only a few minority voters; not sure if it was in a suburban area or in Cobb or Fulton counties. If it was inside the city limits, the Dims appear to be in serious trouble, because key elments of the Obama coalition—at least in that crowd—were noticeably absent.
It was Gwinnett County, Demos:
White: 442,511 (52.55%, #130)
Black: 208,408 (24.75%, #95)
Hispanic: 171,142 (20.32%, #5)
Asian: 91,934 (10.92%, #1)
Native (American Indian, Alaska Native, Hawaiian Native, etc.): 3,489 (0.41%, #26
Keep an eye out for more women in line than men..that’s an indication the beast is pulling in the female vote!
Same story in the People’s Republic of Athens/Clarke County, though. Heavy early voting the first two days. It seems that both sides are very energized.
[key elments of the Obama coalition—at least in that crowd—were noticeably absent.]
They might have been voting in another states.
