and everywhere else in Ga as well, obviously.
Voter turnout is predicted to be fairly low – the numbers I’ve heard are anywhere from 15% to 30%. In Lee County, only 487 votes were cast during advance and early voting, though that number may rise as more mail-in ballots come in today. In 2006, there were 1621 Repulican ballots and 1736 Democratic votes cast, for a total of 3357 votes cast. There were 14,151 registered voters in Lee County as of 2006, meaning that only 23.72% of them cast a ballot in that year’s Primaries. Turnout in the General Election that year in Lee County barely topped 50%.
This is supposed to be an “anti-incumbent” year, a year where people are pissed off and ready to change things.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are only 2 incumbents running in 10 Ga Statewide seats (Casey Cagle and Johnny Isakson), and both are running unopposed in the Primary, though they will face two challengers each in November.
Don’t let someone else dictate to you who your options will be in November.
Get out there and make that decision for yourself! Polls will be open from 7a-7p today.
GO VOTE GA!
