1. That is a hopeful sign.

Isn't Georgia one of the states that regularly has insufficient voting machines in predominantly Democratic and/or minority neighborhoods? Isn't it one of those where people give up in despair after hours of waiting in line?

3. Yes, and yes.

My wife and daughter have already voted ..... (I think I know who they voted for).

5. Depends on who is voting

6. Yep

But, it still is a positive (IMO)
Because it could lead to a higher total voter turnout which usually favors Democrats

12. That's good, because the sooner they vote--

the less chance they'll be denied the right to vote.

And the SCOTUS decided there was no more need for the Voting Rights Act.
I can just hear Justice Roberts now, "Well, it's not about RACE! They're just trying to suppress Democratic voters, and is it the GOP officials' fault that African Americans and Native Americans and Hispanics tend to vote Democratic?"

13. I have been to Atlanta & Augusta

When I think of the south eastern states I think of them being a third world country. I attended school in Memphis after high school and I was so happy to depart and go back to California. We have rural areas in California which seems like a third world country, but the roads are great!!!
