Less than a third of Georgia’s registered voters are expected to go to the polls Tuesday for a primary election dominated by local races and a relatively low-profile statewide Democratic contest for the U.S. Senate.“I think turnout will be driven largely by local races,” said Secretary of State Karen Handel, who projected turnout at about 30 percent.
Polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as voters choose everything from state lawmakers to local sheriffs to members of Congress.
Handel said some counties could beat her projection, depending on local offices or specific issues being decided.
Also, I suspect that Jim Martin will win the Democratic Senate race tomorrow, but go into a runoff. I don’t know whether it will be with Snuggles or Rand Knight, but I’m suspecting it will be with Snuggles.

Snuggles was taking some shots at Rand Knight on the Channel 2 debate yesterday. Makes me wonder if his polling numbers show Rand is moving up

Snuggles will finish 1st with Martin second.

Jones first, Martin second; but Martin wins the runoff.

Linder wins his primary, but just barely.

This is my first election since relocating to Atlanta from LA. Very excited to actually be in a state where people don’t throw rocks when you say….”Republican” at the polling place.
For the first time in my adult life, I am voting in a Dem primary. I am doing this just so I can vote for Snuggles. Woo Hoo!!!

I predict that I will continue to get “500″ errors when trying to view “the thread of dreams II, electric boogaloo”.
