I got in line at 8AM and left about 8:50AM.

I had fun picking out future judges that didn't even have party affiliation listed next to their names.

jesus, did you just straight-ticket "NO" these, or was there a method here?? Specifically I'm thinking of one Supreme Court judge who you'd most likely be very happy to have on staff (you do the math). . .

Surprisingly short lines

Drove by the polling place at 10:30, and there was no line outside.

Inside, I filled out a form, got in a line of about six people (the "L to Z" line), and was done in about 10 minutes.

The "A to K" line was about 25 people, and could have taken a half-hour.

The elderly poll workers were slow, and there were empty voting screens all the time, because the workers were slow or not enough of them.

Outside there were four (all fitting the young gay male stereotype) bitching and signing about the gay marriage amendment, which is poorly written and will probably be rejected by the courts after passage.

It's surprising to have voted for several people endored by the lib Atlanta newspaper, but they did endorse GOP Senate candidate Johnny Isaksen and a Republican for County prosecutor.

The method is to vote no. Unless there is a challenge to them, they get retained with 90-some percent of the vote.
The only judge I would have voted yes on is not in my court district (Judge Jeffrey Neary).
