Election Day Free For All

Today we go to the polls and vote. Let's be respectful, today of all days, that Americans get to disagree. We will make known the will of the people in each vote cast and counted today.

Here is the day when Decaturites will decide on who will represent them on the School Board.

Let's be respectful of each other's fundamental right to form our own opinions. With that in mind, post your thoughts on the Election or whatever suits you.

I will post a link here, to the Elections page of the Clerk's office. Last election they had a link to a live vote count that automatically updated and refreshed the visitor's view of the count as it was tallied. That link is not live at this moment, but, scroll down to "5/4/10 Primary" and right under that is "Election Results". That might be where the hot link to the vote count will be. Hoping that is so, here is the link to the main Election page: click here.

Now, go out and VOTE !!!!

Republicans vote for Fishburn, and Democrats vote for Brown. Both offer a change from "business as usual" in this important county office.

We lost one vote this morning at least and who knows how many more.My friend went to vote at firestation next to high school this morning at 6:10 they still did not have their paperwork and you could not vote. He had to leave and is working out of town all day...

Don't forget to turn over the ballot, and the friend that did not get to vote at the fire station should call the clerks office to complain (at the very least).

As a veteran no matter how you vote it is always important to vote. Stand up and be counted by voting. I did and I hope it will help make a change. Voting is a right that no one should ever take lightly. Only those who vote can make change happen.

Yes, voting is the right of all. We are very lucky that voting is for men and women no matter what skin color or work. Those who have been put down and not included are equal today in making the decision of who will be elected to the school board. VOTE.

I voted today at West Newton and had no problems; and they did remind me to turn over the ballot. One question though, I thought I saw mention of a School Board meeting tonight. Is there one tonight or is it next week?

I voted at Valley Mills Church and had no problems. They also told me to flip it over to the back.

I wonder how many West Newton parents will freak out when they find out their little darlings don't get to go there next year.

Hope everyone gets a map showing where everyone goes to school next year - that will tell a lot about how these decisions were made.
