Voters Back to the Polls to Decide Senate Race

If it seems like you just did this a month ago, you're right.

Voters return to the polls today to hopefully bring an end to the U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss and Democractic challenger Jim Martin.

In last month's election, Chambliss fell just short of the 50 percentile needed for victory, therefore creating today's run-off.

While turnout will likely be less than on Nov. 4, both sides are fighting hard for the seat. Republicans want to hold on to the seat to prevent Democrats from gaining the magical 60 mark in the Senate where they could stop GOP filibustrers.

The polls are open until 7 p.m.

I rocked the vote for Saxby. We need to maintain some sort of balance in America and hopefully Georgia will pull it for Saxby!

I can tell you voter turn-out is not great. Last month it took me almost 3 hours to go through the voting process. Today it took me 3 minutes.

Go Saxby!
