If you're like I am, you'll do anything to avoid long lines -- long gas lines, long lines in stores, long lines at movies... but how do you avoid long lines when it's your civic duty to vote? I'm already anticipating that our upcoming Nov. 4th election is going to be like no other we've known since we've been old enough to vote! When my niece (who just turned 18) is actually thrilled to be exercising her new right to vote, I know I'm in for REALLY long lines unless I find an alternative. Join me in voting early! You have several options -- check them out at http://www.sos.georgia.gov/elections/advanced_voting.htm and save a bit of frustration in this time when we've got plenty to get worked-up about. Isn't it great that we live in a country that encourages us to vote by making it as easy as possible to do so? Will some one be sure to pick up an extra "I voted" sticker for me to wear on Nov. 4th, though?
