If anyone else finds out more specifics about an exact location can you please share? I've seen metro Atlanta so far but am hoping to know the county or any more details. TIA

All polls are open 7am to 7pm.

No one wants to hear your music.

The past month I’ve been getting out on different parts of the Etowah River and the amount of folks out there blaring music from Bluetooth speakers has increased. It’s inconsiderate.

Also, wear your PFD’s. It’s way cooler than drowning.

I am starting to plan my wedding, super exciting, and we are beginning to look at venues.

We live in ATL and are going to have roughly 100 guests. Our budget is midrange, and we’d like to stay under $10,000 for a venue but would be willing to go higher if it includes F&B. No date set yet, we’re going to let the venue availability decide that but we’d prefer a fall wedding.

For venue style we are are open to anything except a barn lol. I would like to have an outdoor ceremony/indoor reception, but am open to indoor for both.

We’re not set on any part of the state and would love any recommendations on what to look at/what to avoid! TIA!

I left home early to go vote, but the polls at the Thompson Community Center (MA4C) were not working as of 7:15am. All they said was, “Thank you for your patience.”

EDIT: I know many of the “nonpartisan” are basically republican. I only put them because they are unopposed. I’ll just leave them blank.

I live near, but not in his district. I grew up acquaintance knowing his family, long ago. I met him again in the past 5 years, after decades.

The rant - I’m so tired of the dang political ads. I’m sure his stands out bc I know of him. Also bc of the associations I put with it.

The off my chest - they seemed like decent folks. His mother was one of my favorite educational staff as a young child. She was personally very kind to me many times, and very helpful. I haven’t known any of the Cowans in decades, however. I’ve been politically all over the place in my life. Always socially liberal, usually fiscally conservative. The past 10-15 years have seriously changed that though. When I spoke to John, I believed he seemed very against Marjorie Taylor Greenes brand of…lack of concern for sanity and truth. Trump was not specifically mentioned, but I just assumed, surely, that he wasn’t THAT kind of conservative either. A few years ago, when we spoke, Trump and MTG were still very in step, I believe? Now, all I see is these ads, several most days if I watch tv, talking about being a “Trump conservative”. It genuinely makes me feel disappointed and sad, I guess. Which is more than the usual disgust and anger I muster for most politicians anymore.

I’m not trying to make any inflammatory statements, be disrespectful, or say anything incredibly out of line about Dr Cowan or his family. On the contrary, I’m remarking how, decades ago, his mother was so incredible for me, and seemed so kind. I can’t reconcile my memories of that kind woman, and how I’d feel aligning myself with someone who’s made the statements and taken some of the actions of Trump.

I apologize if this is inappropriate. That really isn’t my intent.

I know it’s been said but Georgia is one of a few states that allows crossing over in the primaries.

If you want to get rid of those “MAGA warrior” types and actually restore some sanity, cross over and vote for Brad Raffensberger for Governor and Gabe Sterling for Sec of State.

These are the only guys who are not up Trump’s you-know-what and actually have a spine. Trump doesn’t want these guys to win which is the only reason I’m crossing over.

Look- it’s highly likely a Republican will win in November. We’re a red state still whether you like it or not. So if it’s gonna be a Republican, go with the ones who actually have balls, the ones who don’t say “I’m a MAGA warrior” à la Ralph Wiggum, and let’s end this MAGA nonsense that is causing America to lose its credibility worldwide.

I have a court date for a speeding ticket (not super speeder) but for going 84 in a 65 on I-85. I know what I’ve done is wrong and I learned my lesson and am extremely careful with driving now. I’m 20 years old.

I start a new job two days before my court date and will be in new hire orientation on the day of my court date. I called the job and they really don’t want to have to push back my start date.

I want to know, if I reschedule the court date will the court be harder on me? Or will it be the same? Thanks in advance yall!

Do cops actually care about the tinted license plates frames here in GA. Just recently moved from S.C. to GA and I have had one on my cars for years with no issues back home. I have even gotten a ticket for improper lane change and seat belt with a tint plate cover back in S.C. and the cop said btw you can’t have that plate cover. That was the extent of how much he cared.

My new plate finally came in and I was going to put the cover on but I wasn’t sure how much the cops care around here. Gwinnett county area if that helps.

Some of you might have seen our first voting guide, but thanks to the hard work of our volunteers (just a quick reminder: no one in the Gwinnett Dems gets paid!), we’ve been able to put together a v2 with a lot more data. We want to make sure everyone has the right info before heading to the polls, so this is designed to keep things simple and all in one place.

Just dropping in to share the updated voter guide for Gwinnett County. We want to make sure everyone has the right info before heading to the polls, so we put this together to keep things simple and all in one place.

Here is the link: Voter Guide

Inside the doc, you'll find:

• Early voting dates and locations

Figure out your voting plan now, and please share this doc with your friends, family, and group chats in Gwinnett.

Let's get to work! 💙

Did something happen that I missed? Why is Sharia Law all of a sudden a hot topic?
