Voting

Okay, I haven't been posting much because I am completely obsessed with the election. Not a bad thing.

Voting was always a big deal in our house. Mom was a poll worker for many years. I can remember a couple other things about elections. Mom and Dad always joked about canceling each other's vote. That would make dad a....Democrat in those days. Also, I can remember dad talking about writing in Ken Arrington for fire chief. I have always remembered that and always manage to cast a few write-in votes, Bill Grant for some judge position, Carrie Budd for Cherokee County Court Clerk. Patty Baker is the GOP candidate for County Clerk and I can't stand Patty Baker. That's a story for another day. Cherokee County gives me many opportunities to vote write-in as there are a lot of unopposed races.

The first time I voted was for President in 1976. I voted for Georgia native Jimmy Carter. Foreshadowing?

So, vote, regardless for whom you vote. It's important. But, if you would like my and other family member's opinion, go to Canton Ga Blue. Just beware. It's very very very partisan.

Theone, Tonya, and I all voted yesterday. It is such a good feeling.
BTW- my first presidential vote was also for Jimmy Carter.

I was part of the Peanut Brigade in high school but was too young to vote for Jimmy Carter, but I helped get him elected.

I think my first vote was for George Bush Sr. I must have been nuts...I've come a long way I guess.
