Election Results...

Taken from an article in the Seattle Times:

"South Dakota voters rejected the toughest abortion law in the land — a measure that would have outlawed the procedure under almost any circumstances."

Thank you, South Dakota voters!

I still think that law is the start of an end-run on Roe v. Wade, but maybe now it will take it a little longer to get there.


Also, I checked the results of the Georgia election... I think 2 people I voted for actually got elected... and one of those was John Lewis and no one is stupid enough to run against him.

I wonder when John Lewis is going to retire. A few years from now when Shirley Franklin is no longer mayor, if his seat is open, I suspect she would be a shoe-in for it. I don't know what other office she can move on to that is higher than her current position and she has a chance of winning (no way rural Georgia is going to elect her Senator or Governor... heck, even lots of people in suburbs say they'd never vote for her).

It happens. :D

And yeah, that would be a logical choice for her... although I don't like to think about him retiring - I think he's a wonderful legislator, and he's the only politician I've ever written to and gotten a response from.

Just be glad you're not in Cherokee County. Not a single Democrat on the ballot for local offices. Sad. It's almost like living in Nazi Germany - well maybe not quite that bad, but still pretty depressing. And to have to cast your ballot in Sonny Perdue's homophobic Baptist church, now that was a trip.

I saw your post on that, hilarious! It could have been worse - there's every chance I was on the news last night, flashing my "I Voted" sticker at Scott from across the gym floor. Note to self: check for news crews before showing your breasts to your roommate. :D
