24 hours from now we'll know
TennesseeTicket.com is seeing its biggest traffic day ever. (The previous record was set on the day of the Operation Tennessee Waltz arrests last year.)
The obvious reason for hits is the number of searches for ballots, candidates, and polling place information. I hope people are finding what it is they're looking for.
I had a conversation tonight that brought me some much-needed feedback about the organization and layout of this site's supplemental pages. I'll be re-thinking some things between now and November, and will try to incorporate changes that increase the usability factor.
Tomorrow I'll be one of the crazies braving the August sun and holding a sign in front of a polling place. My candidate of choice for this activity is John Bailes for County Commission, District 8. I'll appreciate a friendly horn-honk if you happen to be driving down Ringgold Road from 1-3pm. I'll be out by the United Methodist Church. (Update: I just googled the polling location address and it seems to be off the main drag, but honk anyway.)
I have practice with the band tomorrow night, so I won't be at any victory parties, I guess. That's too bad. I'll bet the Corker bash will be, as they say, a real corker. If you're a Corker backer, the party is at the Read House at 8pm.
If you need to know your districts, your voting location, or other similar information, stop by the Hamilton County Election Commission website (or your county's if you're reading this from afar).
My endorsements are in the Pulse again today, so read over them if you want something to mull.
Finally, I'll leave you with this thought from John Farmer, who is a Republican candidate for Congress in Tennessee's 8th District, and as well for the State House of Representatives in District 89:
If our sons and daughters can serve in the desert heat dodging bullets and IED’s, then the least we can do is participate in the process they hold the line to defend. Whether you pull the lever for John Tanner, Rory Bricco or [John Farmer] is of little concern to me. As long as you do your homework and make the choice that best serves you, then my task as a candidate will be complete.
