Vote early and avoid long lines

It appears that there will be an unusually heavy voter turnout for the Nov. 4 elections. That could mean some lines at local polling places.

But there is a way to avoid the lines, and 16 percent of the county’s voters have already taken it. Advance voting is offered through Oct. 31.

Until Oct. 24, it can be accomplished only at the Jackson County Registrar’s Office at the county Administrative Building on Athens Street in Jefferson from 8:00 to 5:00. But for five days, Monday through Friday, Oct. 27-31, advance voting will also be possible at the Commerce Recreation Office on Carson Street and the Braselton municipal complex. Hours will be 9:00 to 7:00.

That’s an opportunity for voters to avoid any difficulties or inconveniences that the heavy turnout might cause Nov. 4. A minute or two spent before the election could save a half hour or more on Election Day.

For all of this week's editorials and columns, see the Oct. 22 issue of The Commerce News.

'Twas the night before elections

And all through the town

Tempers were flaring

Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe

With a cat in my lap

Had cut off the TV

Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden

There arose such a noise

I peered out of my window

Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet

They wanted my pay

To give to the others

Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money

And quick as a wink

Jumped back on his bandwagon

As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen

Who were pulling his cart

I could tell they were out

To tear my country apart!

' On Fannie, on Freddie,

On Biden and Ayers!

On Acorn, On Pelosi'

He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause

And as he flew out of sight

I heard him laugh at the nation

Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think

On this one final note-

IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM

GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
