The Sound Guy Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I vote at McClure Middle, had about an hour wait (7:05 AM to 8:12 AM). Funny, they had 22 voting machines for the primary, only 12 for the main election. Link to post Share on other sites

ktan458 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Wow! I'm glad there are so many going out to vote, but I can't believe the wait times. There was no wait at the new Courthouse. I walked in and out within about 10 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
jennilyn77 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Crap! I planned to go and take the baby (I got no sitter). I guess not. I sure hope hubs gets home at a decent time so I can go! Link to post Share on other sites
NewsJunky Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 MrB is at Hope Church on 120 and has been for a bit. He said it is 2+ hour wait. I am going after work. People are trying to read and understand the amendments. That is why it is a good thing if you can read them before going to vote. I stood in line when I voted early. Went in voted and left. The folks at the booths when I stepped up were still standing there when I left. I had to read those things several times before I could understand them. Still not sure I understand them. Thank you to the folks who wrote them! Link to post Share on other sites

I had to read those things several times before I could understand them. Still not sure I understand them. Thank you to the folks who wrote them! You are probably right - I didn't think about that. I have read them (and there were difficult to understand) and will be voting no on all of them. I told the hubs he didn't have to read them, I said to vote no and that is all he needed. I kid, I kid. He's allowed to vote as he pleases - as long as he is informed . Can we vote at the courthouse today regardless of where we SHOULD vote? I doubt it. One of 5 messages on my machine last night gave strict instruction that we are supposed to go to our assigned polls. Link to post Share on other sites
bigocobb Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I would expect the lines to thin out about now as people who had to be at work by 8 or 9 a.m. were trying to get there early to get their vote in. It usually picks up around noon and again with the evening rush hour. Take your baby and kids between 9 and 11 or 1 and 4 and the lines will probably be shorter. Link to post Share on other sites

MarkPalm Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I live in Polk Co and vote at the Vinson Mtn Volunteer Firehouse. There's never a line. I walked in, was the only one there at 10 til 8. Because I had read all of the amendments and researched my candidates before hand it took me about 8 minutes total, in and out.

lotstodo Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I voted last week, but Mrs. LTD has been in line at Taylor Farm Park since before 9AM and still hasn't called me to say she is done. She said that the line went pretty far down the sidewalk. Folks, It's a good sign that there are long lines. This means that we are all exercising or right and performing our duty to vote. Do you want me, SurePip, Intruder, PSD, or The Postman making the decision for you? I didn't think so. Everybody Cowboy up and make a difference. If you don't vote don't carp about the results. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Heck no! hee hee hee I do wish people would read the ballots prior to going though. It is a lot to try and comprehend while looking at a polling machine and about to vote. You are probably right - I didn't think about that. I have read them (and there were difficult to understand) and will be voting no on all of them.

Guest Hi~ho Silver Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I vote in Chatham County. It was busy, but they had a large number of machines and I had researched the amendments before so the whole process took about 10 minutes. Just as an interesting footnote, we get television stations from South Carolina here. Joe Wilson, the Congressman that hollered out "you lie" to Obama during the State of the Union Address, is running for re-election. That will be one to watch. Link to post Share on other sites

GeorgiaTornado Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I voted early this morning at Scoggins Middle School and there was already about 30 folks in line at 7:15. Oh and I voted YES to amendment 3. It gives GDOT the way to do sign contracts with design firms to start designing roads and THEN they get the money to build it. As it stands now GDOT can't issue road design to firms until they have ALL the money (design + R/W + environmental + construction)even though the road isn't going to be built right now. Oh....and this directly effects my job. Link to post Share on other sites
