We are less than 12 hours from the polls opening on Election Day 2018. This is my 6th general election in FoCo and I am thrilled to say that for the first time I have solid D candidates up down the ballot and I can feel excellent about voting a straight Blue ticket.
I've voted R in the past (though I confess it's been a while) but this time and for the foreseeable future I won't be doing it. I haven't seen or heard from a single Republican candidate or representative from dog catcher (ok, we don't vote for that) to governor who has given me any indication that he'll do anything other than march in lockstep right behind Trump and that's not the kind of community, state or country I want. I disagree with most of his policies and just as importantly he's a pretty awful person. What does it say when you would not want your son to grow up anything like the president and you would not want your daughter to bring anyone remotely like him home.
I also hope none of my D friends waste their vote for governor on Libertarian Ted (industrial hemp) Metz. Third party votes gave us Trump. Kemp would be as embarrassing for Georgia as Trump has been for America. For my right leaning friends, I'd encourage you to vote for him. Hemp not Kemp, I say.
So, down the line,
Abrams for Governor.
Amico. Lt Governor
Barrow. Sec of State.
Bordeaux. US House
Smith. State Senate.
Tucker. State House.

I'll be at the polls bright and early with Claire, voting in her first election. She turned 18 on Saturday. Seems like just yesterday my mother in law and I were welcoming Claire into the world and fussing at each other over the 2000 Bush v Gore election. Oh for the simple days...
Peace and good night all.
PS. I've become a fan of deleting comments I don't like. I'm all for free speech but I'm tired of arguing and I don't owe anyone a platform for stuff I don't agree with.
PPS. I love the ability to block the original poster of crap people share. That way I don't ever have to see the nonsense again, but I still get to see pics of your kids and puppies.
