Back from 4 of us voting straight ticket! No lines, but steady flow. We were #210, but a lot of early ballots in the box. They checked IDs and addresses thoroughly and one guy, whose address on the DL was the old address and didn’t match the voting record. He had to bring in his car registration to show that that it matched with the voter registration roll. I was impressed. :D
I held my nose and voted McCain only because the Senate is so important right now. Any other time, I would have voted for the Libertarian.
Ballot box man was the same guy that was there for the primaries. He said the turnout was higher, but the most traffic comes at the end of the day.
I did the same.
Just returned from voting (at 4:55 p.m.) with my two sons, the younger one’s first time. We live metro Atlanta, specifically, in Hank “Tip Over” Johnson’s district, which is obviously majority ‘rats.
However, my precinct is about 65 - 35 ‘pubs. The liberals in my precinct likely work at Emory University, CDC, etc. You get the picture.
Anyway, the poll workers checked our driver’s licenses, then scanned them. I was told by a friendly poll worker that voting was very heavy in the early morning and during lunch time.
We only waited about 10 minutes, but, as you noted, there was a steady flow of voters.
All three of us voted for Isakson, Deal, Cagle, and Liz Carter, who will likely lose to Tip Over.
Not one ‘rat vote from us. I must be doing something right.
