Georgia early voting exceeds prior records.  As of today, early vote totals in Georgia are close to 500,000!  Un-freakin-believable!  And the kicker is that 37% of the early voters are African-American.  Woohooo!  Given that polling suggest that at least 90% of black folks vote for Sen. Obama, I’d say that that is pretty good news for the Obama campaign. Can a democrat win Georgia??  Hmmm.  For all those black folks out there who are determined to vote on Election Day, I have this to say….VOTE EARLY.  I voted early and had a better experience than I have had in previous general elections.  I voted without the hassle of long lines, dirty tricks, traffic, weather, etc.  I went in, just as I have every past Election Day and voted on the equipment.  It was an exhilarating experience and I highly recommend it.  I walked around all day with a rediculous smile on my face.  And guess what, you can help get others to the polls on Election Day instead of worrying about getting there yourself.  Read Georgia article.

Early vote totals have now reached 499,582 — about 75,000 more than were cast early in all of 2004. (The state is also newly encouraging early voting this year, so that’s a major factor.)

And the ratio of African-American voters remains extremely high: 37% of the early votes were cast by black voters, who make up just 29% of the state’s electorate.
