Who Migrates to The Polls Matters in the 10th
Today is election day in the 10th Congressional district of Georgia. Polls are open 7 AM until 7 PM and if you’re scheduled to work during the entirety of that time or if you cannot otherwise make it to vote, State Law requires that you get two hours off from work to go vote.
Go Vote.
There are ten! Count ‘em, ten! Candidates from which to choose! Six who affiliate with Republicans, three who affiliate with Democrats, and one Libertarian, Clearly, a run-off will happen July 17th.
The big issue in this race is immigration. Republicans and even some Democrats seem to be chiding the administration and the current Congress on the immigration bill. Clearly, these folks don’t realize the impact immigrants have made to this country and will make.
Do we need fewer illegal immigrants? Absolutely. Conceptually, it’s far better to have people who are here legally than not. However, This requires that the state and the country as a whole take a more realistic view of the value immigrants provide. Georgia’s Legislature seems bent on not recognizing that fact and so do the voters of the 10th district.
Smart people can both want a more open process will let us admit more people who want to rule of law and like free societies with the skills we need and want those people to be here legally. Let’s hope they vote in the election tomorrow.

Don’t buy into the Republican hype, Whitehead and Broun want the race to be about immigration and they have the resources to get that message out. Marlow, however, has campaigned on the War in Iraq.
But I applaud your call to vote, turnout is predicted at less than 10 percent. Pathetic.
