There was NO ONE at my poll. Literally. When I was leaving, I saw one more person enter.

We had a couple of Dem races I cared about in my area, so I didn't do the crossover thing.

Of interest re: the GOP senate race:

I never vote for Republicans. During the preliminary election, I made sure I voted for Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter.That is the only reason I voted other than to vote for minimum wage increase. Cherokee County is totally red and there are almost no Democrats on the ballot.
