The Wait Is Long For Early Voting

Polling stations at Noonday Baptist Church and the East Cobb Government Center are reporting lines between 90 minutes and two hours.

If you want to vote early this week in Northeast Cobb, be prepared to wait for a while.

And don't forget to bundle up.

Even though mid-day temperatures have been approaching 60 degrees, early voters are advised to prepare for windy weather and to be patient.

The Cobb Elections office estimated on Wednesday that wait times at Noonday Baptist Church on Canton Road were as long as two hours. Check for the latest wait times before you go; they are updated for each satellite voting location four times daily.

Other locations were reporting similar waiting times, including the East Cobb Government Center (90 minutes) and the Northstar Church in Kennesaw (two hours).

All of the satellite locations in Cobb are open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. through Friday of this week. The main Cobb Elections office, located at 736 Whitlock Avenue in Marietta, is open for early voting from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Friday.

Louise although I do not follow your faith, I appreciate your understanding about being inclusiveRead More for everyone in this country, rather than just the ones you want to include.

If you follow Christ’s teachings then you must acknowledge that the sole domain for sex is theRead More married man and woman. One of the problems in our society is the acceptance of (or participation in) a behavior simply because we find out that someone we like participates in that behavior. Whether it is a teenager who thinks doing illegal drugs is OK because their best friend does it, or those who now accept homosexuality because they have discovered a family member or friend is homosexual. One can still love the other person without embracing the particular activity. As St. Augustine wrote in the "City of God" - "the character of human will is important...since no one is evil by nature, but whoever is evil is evil by vice, whoever lives according to God should hold a perfect hatred for evil men. He should not hate the man because of his vice, or love the vice because of the man."

The reason that they call you bigots is because you are bigots. Look the word up in the dictionary.

is reminded that GOD can and has saved us from the attacks of terrorists as evident by our writingRead More and posting comments here :-) Suggest reading: Psalm 127:1 and Philippians 4:6-7 :-)

I guess not since Boston marathon incident, terror from within USA is prevalent.

I'd say heighten our security alert levels for all events nationwide since as a nation we have manyRead More enemies worldwide, including festivals, marathon races, all sporting events, everything were there is a large gathering of people.

I don't think there is any way to stop these things from happening. Or just stop everybody who hasRead More a backpack. There really is no way to watch everybody. There is a fine line between surveillance and rights to privacy and civil rights.

shares that the easy (Matthew 11:30) way to make sure our neighbors around us are in a right stateRead More of mind (i.e. neither homicidal or suicidal) is by simply asking them how they're doing and persisting past the "pat answer" to determining if they are able to say they are "wonderfully hungry" because homicdal/suicidal people cannot say they are "wonderfully hungry" because they'd definitely **not** be looking forward to their next meal.

A better question would be, why do theKSU police department need M-60 machine guns? And have theRead More KSU police department received training the the proper methodology for tactical use of a crew served weapon? An M-60 machine gun is not a sniper weapon; it is designed for use against troops, plural, in the open field. But what the heck ...let's go ahead and issue them a flame thrower and a couple dozen hand grenades as well!
Marlene Mitchell May 13, 2013 at 10:23 pm
How many M-60's do they have?

Several ...a few years ago I had the opportunity to visit the Arms Room at the KSU policeRead More department.

In 1997, when the number "42" was universally retired, 13 active players were wearing theRead More number and were allowed to keep using it until they left baseball. Mariano Rivera, the consummate closer for the NY Yankees, is the last player in Major League Baseball wearing Jackie Robinson’s No. 42. He will retire at the end of this season...and Robinson's number will also be retired.

This movie was great!

Retiring Jackie's number was huge. I created a visualization of MLB teams who have retired numbersRead More (including 42). Check it out: http://bit.ly/14wUpGq
