I am ashamed of Bibb, my home county of birth, and a solidly Democratic county. There’s no excuse for that county NOT to offer early voting for the run-off election.

Clarke stuns me. That county is the home of the University of Georgia, and it’s 70-30 Democratic.

Houston is the home of Robins AFB. With a population over 100,000 (it’s directly south of Macon/Bibb), and it’s 60-40 Republican.

Paulding is (now) suburban Atlanta and is about 50-50.

This is a strange combination of counties to have chosen to eliminate early voting. Budgetary concerns are what I imagine drove these decisions.
