I hope I voted for the least foul of 4 choices for State House.

There has been some ugly lobbying here against Chris van Sant, claiming he's really a Democrat. From everything I read about him, he's a disgusting Tea Partier, at least philosophically.

I voted for Ethan Underwood. He's the only candidate that didn't have extremist anti-ACA, etc stuff written up about him.

Anyone else in my district, 24, I believe, needing to vote by Tuesday?

where I'd have to consider giving up on voting completely, since the only people who ever seem to run are Republicans who try to out crazy each other and Democrats who are as exciting as cold, greasy lamb chops and come off as men who are taking money from the Democrats only because the Republican field was full.

Georgia's one of them.

You have my sympathy. Good luck on finding the only one of the pack who isn't barking crazy.

sometimes I just want to curl up in the fetal position and give up. I don't feel that I've had representation in Georgia in years. It gets demoralizing.
