#uspol Early voting (midterms primary runoff) started at 7a this morning here. I showed up ~4 minutes later. Had my vote case (five different races) and was out the door four minutes later. I imagine actual election day won't be too bad but figured I'd get things done before heading to Tek so I wouldn't have to worry about coordinating things later.

Another long day at the polls yesterday. Arrived 5:50 am, left at 9:10 pm (polls open 7 to 7). 704 ballots cast at my precinct. Steady all day. I don’t think anyone waited more than 5 minutes to check in.
Unfortunately, GA is one of the very few states that requires runoffs in races where nobody got 50.0001% or more of votes in a given race, so we’ll do this all again in 4 weeks.
Still an important job and I’m happy to do my part.
