And I, of course, voted a straight Democratic ballot! 👍🏻 I’ve never, not even in an election year, witnessed the lines I saw today. It was a constant line of voters, they kept coming. And that’s a good thing! 😃😀👍🏻

I do love me some early voting. I did today at 10 in the morning and it was hopping

We vote early, though, to give us time to identify any problems. This is Georgia. I was disenfranchised a couple elections ago, not my husband, because we'd forwarded our mail to Florida over the winter (!), even though we restored it to our home address in the spring. We found out before the election thanks to a watchdog group's warning.

Don't trust Kemp! I like going early because the lines tend to be much shorter

10. :) Oh, I do trust Kemp to betray his corrupted electorate.

Like the rest of his type, they're merely a means to power. Our neighbors seem to have wised up a bit, but the alternative, to support Democrats, still makes filling government with intensely corrupt predators seem preferable.

I've heard that if you vote straight Dem, it switches your vote to Kemp.
