That's surprising. They made me remove my "Guns Save Lives" button one year.
Early voting experience
Voted this morning in East Cobb. Long line outside. A poll worker said it would be a two hour wait to vote. I actually walked out after voting at 2 hours and 15 minutes. At least it was gorgeous weather. Another poll worker said it was like this all week, the shortest wait time was about an hour and a half.
Oh, and I wore my GCO cap. No notice at all.

About 15 minutes at the N. Fulton annex Wednesday around 6pm.
Damn, I was in and out in under 15 minutes in Johns Creek on Tuesday. Glad I didn't wait any longer. Regardless of anything else, Fulton seems to have their stuff together for early voting this year.
Print it out, take it with you, tell them to go pound sand.That's surprising. They made me remove my "Guns Save Lives" button one year.

You must mean at the East Cobb government center across from Mt. Bethel. The worker was correct as I work directly behind the precinct/center and it has been a nightmare all week. I look directly at it through my windows in my lab and there have been lines down the sidewalk late into the evening. In fact they're still out there waiting to finish it up currently and it's well after 9.Voted this morning in East Cobb. Long line outside. A poll worker said it would be a two hour wait to vote.

I'm going to go into my local voting precinct Tuesday morning and be in and out of there within 15 minutes. I will say hello to the same old ladies I always see every election day and no other time ever (provided one or more hasn't died since the last election), fill out my info, and be in the booth within 10 minutes of walking through the door. :lol:
20 minutes at the Floyd County Commission Building (or whatever it's called) on Friday morning. We heard there were 2 hour lines back in 2012 at the regular polling place. I find that hard to believe because we're not in a real densely populated area. But we're done. Now we can sit back on Tuesday and wait for CNN to claim the race for Hillary at 3:30 PM. :lol:
About 20 minutes at Dog River Public Library on Wednesday.
Hampton Library in Forsyth Co took about 15 minutes. I went on like the second day. What really slows things down is all the Amendments, and it takes folks a while to read them,, then think about it a while, etc. So that's going to slow things down Tuesday, but the good news is Forsyth Co has already had 52.25% turnout won't be a lot of folks that need to vote the last day.
It has been like this for the last few general elections. Thus, every election, I mail in my ballot. I early voted there for the primary run off and even though there was only a handful of us there, it still took me 45 minutes to get through. The filling out the paperwork (the same as if I had mailed it in) was tedious and time consuming. So...it reiterated my belief in the absentee ballot.You must mean at the East Cobb government center across from Mt. Bethel.

That's his opinion, correct? And now he's no longer the AG...so it is quite possible that a misinformed worker would still turn you away.Print it out, take it with you, tell them to go pound sand.

Even a better reason to do an absentee ballot. I can wear all my guns, or wear my underwear, or wear nothing at all if I choose. :lol:
Unless I'm mistaken, and one of our resident legal eagles can correct me, an SG opinion on letterhead to the legislature is the official opinion of the State of Georgia. And since no contradictory opinion has been issued, it remains so.That's his opinion, correct?

From my experience this year and from what I have heard, normal waiting times in Savannah have been at least 2 hours. I went Monday of last week and there were about 80 people in line, so I left because I had 2 coworkers in the car with me. We had just eaten lunch. I figured it was a lunchtime rush. I went alone on Wednesday. Got there at 10:30. There were about 100 people in line. The end of the line stayed in the same general area the whole time I was there. I got back in my car at 12:45. Once I got to a machine it took me right at 60 seconds to vote. I was in and out of the room the voting machines were in before anyone who was already in there finished up. The pole workers were doing a great job keeping everything organized and moving. A coworker left work at 10:30 to vote. It's a 10 minute drive. He made it back to work at 3:00. He told me where the end of the line was when he got in it. The line would have to have 350-400 people in it to be that long.
The problem I see is that people get to a machine to vote and it is the first time that they have seen the ballot or the amendments. The poll workers figured that out by the end of the week and they were handing out copies of the amendments to people who were standing in line.
I never saw lines, much less long lines, for early voting until 2008. The lines I saw for this election were at least twice as long as the longest lines I saw in 2008. I hope that is a good sign.

When I voted last week, Texas, suburb, meeting building in a park.
Line was 10 min long. Lot was full of people on foot approaching and hounding the voters to vote Dem.
A truck was blocking one lane of the two lane road to the park with lots of Dem bumper stickers (I thought about calling the cops on him but did not). Made getting in and out of the parking lot a challenge.

I had the same experience in Forsyth county. I voted last Weds after work, and there were way more people than in 2008 and 2012.I never saw lines, much less long lines, for early voting until 2008. The lines I saw for this election were at least twice as long as the longest lines I saw in 2008. I hope that is a good sign.
I like this early voting thing....
I walked into my voting place today, right up to the table, filled out my form, got my chip card, had my choice of any of the 4 voting machines, voted, and was walking out in 5 minutes!!! New voting time record!

I'm liking early voting more each election cycle too. Walked right in, no wait to fill out form, show i.d., get card. 1 lady was at a machine and 2 more walked in behind me. Early voting always had a line. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.
It is convenient.
And real popular with voter fraud folks.
