It’s Election Day, and you know what that means…open thread on a Tuesday!!
Are there lines at the polls? Any issues at the precincts? Any last minute concerns about the ballot? etc, etc…
If you don’t know where you need to vote, you can access the State’s voter webpage to pull up the address of your assigned precinct. Happy voting Decatur!
Report from FFAF:
Just a reminder : there would not be a runoff for the 4 way contested Commission seat. By City Charter, plurality wins.
In and out in 4 mins!
Yup me too. Lots of cars in the parking lot at First Christian this morning, though.
As of 12:45 pm, 197 folks had voted at Holy Trinity.
One of my favorite aspects of living in Decatur is its politics. We are a bastion of politeness, even when we disagree with each other, compared to a lot of other cities in this region. The candidates actually debate policy. And when a candidate comes around and tries to disregard this paradigm, they’re sounded rejected. Thank you Decatur.
It is too bad we do not have more choice. Representative democracy is dead.
The District One race has four candidates so perhaps the death of representative democracy is overstated.
It is not, when those running have the same views. come from the same sources & have the same plans.
Maybe you should pony up and run.
I should!
I went on my lunch break and was the only voter at my voting site. I got my pick of the out of date and probably insecure voting machines.
The Church at Decatur Heights was hopping at 5:00.
When can we expect results?
And where can we find them? AJC (so far) only seems interested in some of the more high-profile races. Secretary of State website proving to be less helpful than I had hoped as well . . .
Ah! Finally found the link: http://www.ajc.com/news/state–regional-govt–politics/november-2017-georiga-elections/phZgOMwWVYgjiVC4EhmDfN/

Results in. Warn welcome to Commissioner Walsh.
Typo or warning?
Hahaha. Good catch.
