African-Americans in Georgia will not be denied:
Just cast an early vote in Cobb County. Only took one hour, forty-five minutes — exactly three weeks before Election Day.In speculating about voter turnout we can't forget what this election means to African-Americans.
A long line folded itself three times in a relatively hot October sun, shortly before lunch-time. Perhaps a dozen people couldn’t stick it out — they left before getting to the front of the line.
Every one of those who gave up the effort was white. Once in, not a single African-American walked away while I was there. If voter fatigue becomes a factor over the next three weeks, and on Election Day itself, one has to wonder if Republicans are more likely to lose out than Democrats.
