Atlanta (Morningside/Lindbergh) Report
Huge turnout this morning at Piedmont and Cheshire Bridge (30324). When I arrived at the polls at 0700 there were hundreds of people already in line. I waited in line for an hour and 15 minutes.
The electronic process was simple enough and there were about 12 booths at the precinct. The poll workers were swamped with people and you had to show ID. That was nice to see.
My poll workers said they were missing 4 people that were supposed to work, but failed to show up. Last minute volunteers are not allowed to work inside the polling place, but could stand outside and direct folks to where they're supposed to go and help with traffic.
The little old lady that was working at the poll said she had never seen a turnout like today in her 40 years as a poll officer. The gay turnout was huge (marriage amendment). It sure did feel good to vote for W.
