Weather is fine, get out there and vote
Call up everybody you know and make sure they have voted as well. Text your entire cell phone directory and ask them if they have voted or need a ride. Blast an email to your entire address book in all your email accounts and remind them to get out their and cast their vote. Today is the day to do it if you have not already. Parties are everywhere this evening in downtown Athens. Clarke County Democratic Committee thanks to Mike Hamby at the Melting Point, Bobby Saxon at the VFW hall and UGA Law Dawgs are at the Georgia Theater. The GOP is meeting at the Masters Hall of the Georgia Center of Continuing Education.
I will predict that voters shall return incumbent city council member Joe Walter narrowly over Luke Bishop locally 51-49% in the lone contested Municipal Election in Watkinsville. The turnout of voters will be very high but somewhat hampered by the incongruity of having to vote in advance in two separate locations at two times might shave off a couple of dozen votes in an important local contest.
Bill Yarborough of the Oconee County Board of Elections and the Planning Commission thinks that voter turnout could break the astounding 85% of a few election cycles back with the last liquor by the drink referendum. So we shall see some surprises tonight for sure. I think the popular vote will be a lot closer but the Electoral College will be north of 300 for Obama this evening. Ira Edwards will narrowly hold off a strong challege from his independent challenger, and Melvin Davis will do the same by a much larger margin in Oconee from a write-in single-issue protest candidate from Bogart.
