I voted early in Ga, and as I thanked the poll workers,

one of them said, "It's been a long day." I asked if it was because of the machines, and she said, "No, it was some people," but she would not elaborate any further. I guess some MAGAts or election deniers were pissed about the machines.

I'm sick of the lies in the R election ads, BTW. Especially the anti-Warnock ads and the pro-Walker bs.

her parents left Europe and came to the US. Being born here, she had the right to vote. I asked where they came from. "Latvia" she replied. "Oh yes, former USSR."

I voted early in-person in Northeast Georgia. I also thanked the poll workers and Board of Elections officials. They do a great job!

Kemp ads decrying parents not being able to decide what children are caught. Walker ads saying schools are teaching children to hate America but Walker wants us to love each other.
