The Washington Monthly: It takes 10 hours to vote in Atlanta

In my earlier post, I questioned why someone would want to undertake an elected office when they view government as the problem. 

In this post,I encourage anyone and everyone who has the vision and energy to fix problems in Government--so it can do what it is meant to do--to be involved:

Besides that, the idea that anyone should have to wait for ten hours to vote is insane. And while I'd be happy to chalk up, say, 30 minute waits to unexpectedly high turnout, there's a point at which you just have to think: don't we pay people to estimate how high turnout will be, and to plan accordingly? And don't ten hour lines call their competence into question? We have to fix this. It's shameful.
