I filled out my absebtee ballot today. I was dismayed that a lot of the judges are Pubss & running

unopposed! At lease all the upper ticket races have an opponent. I didn't want to mail it in when I first got it because I wasn't sure they were eve working on them yet. I sure hope they continue absentee voting for Nov. I know I can still get one because I'm 77 & in a wheelchair, but I want everyone else to have the best & easiest way to vote in the general. My brain cand endure another 4 yrs of DT!

There’s really no excuse for not voting there.

Georgia can help beat trump in November and hopefully build on Lucy McBath’s upset victory in Newt Gingrich and Tom Price’s old district, maybe even pick up at least one senate seat.

And mailed them today. We “undervoted” (left blank) for any anti-choice R judges. FYI... We’re in McBath’s district.

Well, I do write ins. Such as Roland Dechain, Nathen Wournos, Audrey Parker, Barrack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. There is always room for write ins and when a repub is running unopposed or two repubs fighting for the same position I feel better if I at least vote for someone.

One of those are from Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" and two of them are from a television series "Haven" based on a Stephen King book.

Do you think king would be happy that I would rather vote for a character from some of his writings?
