Mary Norwood

Have a great and much needed holiday! You had a great run!

All the best to you, Mary. You ran a tremendous campaign, and we all still support you 100%. Merry Christmas!!

If Mary isn't running, surely she knows someone who will! Atlanta needs to move forward on this momentum... All the best!

Mary, I do hope you'll run again in 4 years, though we'll be even further immersed in mismanaged funds and idiotic cronyism. You ran a fair and honest campaign, and can hold your head high. Count on my vote in 4 years!

will be interesting to see what happens with the Secretary of State investigation.

I agree w/ Gary!

I was thinking the same thing about Mary running for governor. Let Kasim be mayor. Mary can be governor of the state. That will show him and everyone who voted for him.

the problem is ballot access. the dems and repubs have made it about impossible to run as an independent - so they get to keep ballot access which in turn lets them keep their jobs...

Governor ... is Georgia ready to break the mold and cease the only white male club ? Maybe? Who knows for sure!

It is a shame that there is no paper audit trail on our election equipment. Who here trusts that the runoff was free of any fraud or illegal votes. Having a voting system that can be validated is just as or more important the who runs for what office.

Mary, I voted absentee...

Hi Mary I voted Absentee Ballot...hope it reached you in time!

Hey! Somebody stole my yard signs on Ralph McGill overnight but did not touch Reed's sign a few houses down. I went straight to a faculty meeting and told everyone in earshot.

someone took my yard sign on sat. dec 5th.

Same as absentee ballot?

Ohbersteen, I found out that my friend's daughter had requested an absentee ballot. So she had to go home and come back to the polling place with her absentee ballot which she did. Sorry for the confusion! I thought she couldn't vote the first time because she didn't have an ID. (I erased my previous post.)
However, it's good to know about the provisional ballot. That was new to me.

Take a look at this article. Pretty interesting information on the recount and electronic voting machines.

Mary - who is going to oversee the recount process to ensure there is no corruption? I don't trust the current administration.

@ Tiffani - I too lived in SW ATL and I know exactly what you are saying. I had some wonderful, well educated neighbors. Some people make assumptions... I know Mary had many supporters in SW so I was surprised by the numbers. I'm sure there was busing to the poles which happens all the time and I'm not ruling out the possibility of some manipulation somehow, but I also know there are some great people in SW whether they voted for Mary or Kasim.

I voted absentee

You are a very bright and savvy woman. Atlanta needs you and so do we.

I think you will make a fantastic mayor and am glad you are pursuing a recount! I pray you are Atlanta's next mayor but either way you are amazing!!
