So far there has been 10,000 problem calls from people attempting to vote…Florida tops the list.

As we all know, voter registration is at an all time high. Now I don’t doubt for a minute that there are some not so real people registered to vote. What I find amusing is apparently they are all Obama supporters? Fake registrations don’t really help anyone. Think about it, how is the fake person going to actually vote??
Anyway…
Georgia right now is feeling what Florida felt in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. Basically a potential voter is flagged and poof they get a letter. Now if they can respond in time, fine. Apparently there are cases where they can not. I don’t quite understand this. Then they can vote on a provisional ballot, that may or may not be counted!
Am I kidding? Unfortunately I’m not. Interestingly enough Georgia has a Republican Senate seat that is in trouble. Saxby Chambliss is being hunted like the wild pig he is. I’d be curious if this was an issue 2, 4, or 6 years ago when Georgia was safely Republican.

This has to be one of my favorite political sites. I can remember reading the predictions in 2006 and feeling the excitement. I can also remember reading the predictions of the primary and feeling gloom. Self preservation has a way of kicking in. My husband is a Republican and works in politics, and his guy didn’t make it. I remember reading it on the Cook Report thinking this guy better be wrong for once.
Of course he wasn’t! But that’s another story!
I have to say today I’m feeling pretty good about where we are for the upcomming election. This is an exciting time for me. I have often felt like I’ve been standing on my soapbox alone, and I probably was. I have always tried to go vote. Primary, general, Presidential year, and non-Presidential year. It is so exciting to see so many people engaged!
Can I just say I can hardly wait. Gains in the Senate. Gains in the House. And taking back the White House. I’m not sure it gets much better than that…oh wait it will! WHEN WE WIN!!!
