Early Voting?

Not sure how early voting is looking in your part of the country (assuming you're American), but here in the Northern suburbs of Atlanta, lines are ridiculous. Initially, I was planning on voting early this week, but reports of lines two to five hours long kept pouring in, so I put it off the first free day I had. Then, I decided I was going to spend the night at my parents' place so I could get up first thing in the morning to head over to my polling place today (the last day to vote early), and I almost waited in line for 30 minutes with my car alone, just trying to get a parking space! The line of people itself was extremely long at 9:30 this morning, so I just turned around and decided I was going to accept whatever size line I'm left with on November 4th.

This whole situation leaves me a bit frustrated with whomever it is that decided to have so few voting locations, but I'm going to just wait and see how election day itself turns out before I start thinking they're inept. Regardless, I'm thinking absentee voting for the next election will definitely be the way to go...
