My polling place, located in Midtown Atlanta, was very quiet when I voted after work yesterday. I expected a long line, but to my surprise there were very few people around. When I arrived at work today, I spoke with several Decaturites who said that their polling locations had long waits. I wish that Fulton County residents were as motivated to vote as people who live in Dekalb County.
