From a reader:

Jonah,
Just got back from voting in Smyrna, GA (suburban Atlanta). Growing, middle-class area of south Cobb County, used to be in Newt’s old district but since gerrymandered into a majority-black district that’s mainly in south Atlanta (David Scott is the D-incumbent).
At any rate, there are virtually no competitive races here, certainly not at the state or federal level. Sonny Perdue is a shoo-in for reelection, and there’s no way the vote here is going to oust David Scott from office. But the turnout is huge. I thought 2004 was “bad,” but I waited twice as long today. The parking lot was full, and the line was getting longer when I left.
Heck if I know what it means, but in Smyrna, the people are a-voting like you wouldn’t believe.
