An exercise in futility
This morning Norm and I enacted our annual election day ritual of driving to the polls together to cancel out each other's vote.  I'm actually glad I listened to him and didn't vote early, though.  For the past two weeks he's had a view of the lines around the block for the downtown Decatur early voting site.  As he pointed out, it took us about an hour to vote in 2004.  Since more people already voted early in Georgia than voted in the entire 2004 election, we decided to gamble on shorter lines today.   I was SHOCKED though, to have no line whatsoever!  We had our pick of voting machines, but Norm decided to take the one next to mine anyway so he could be certain to vote differently from me.  The only item we agreed on?  We both voted "No" to require mandatory uniforms for Dekalb County students in grades K-5.
