Just voted for President Obama!

Hour and a half wait, but the actual time to cast my ballot was very short-lots of unopposed Republicans. Sad that Dems cannot even recruit candidates for most state offices in Georgia.

Hubby and I early voted in Marietta (Cobb County), with about a hour and a half wait. The line was longer when we left. This will be our last vote in Georgia. Will be moving to North Carolina soon. There were a few Dems down ticket but mostly unopposed R's.

I'm wondering if living in one of the reddest counties in the state has something to do with that. Or maybe the fact that we have early voting hours that make it inconvenient for working people.
