It's Su-purr Tuesday! Get out and vote for sewers and Newt!

Hello, dear reader! Your democracy desperately needs you. In addition to all the other things you have to do to keep food on the table, you should take time today to venture to your designated polling place and vote.

Georgia is among the 10 states deciding the GOP's presidential nominee. But there are just as important races that deserve your attention. Atlanta residents will be asked to extend a one-percent sales tax to fund the city's $4 billion sewer overhaul. And many other parts of metro Atlanta will get a chance to catch up with the rest of civilization and determine whether stores should be allowed to sell booze on Sundays.

CL's editorial board says voters should pull the lever for Newt Gingrich because a.) the former Georgia congressman deserves a thrill and b.) he stands zero chance against President Barack Obama in the November General Election. (Yes, Democrats, you can vote in the Republican primary! Wacky, isn't it?) The board also urged a "yes" vote for the four-year extension. If the measure fails, city officials say, Atlantans will most likely wind up paying increased water bills. Why not offset some of the burden on the tourists and commuters?

Disagree with us? Tell us and fellow Atlantans why in the comments. Notice any shenanigans at the polls? Send us a line. The Secretary of State's website has everything you need to locate your polling place and view a sample ballot. Be sure to bring a form of photo ID, as well. Enjoy your Su-purr Tuesday!
