Candy Vote

I hadn't heard of this, but apparently our very own Decatur, Georgia had a moment in the media Sun a few weeks ago when a local kid named Moey dressed up as a voting booth and essentially polled the neighborhood, taking candy in lieu of ballots.
Sometimes it's weird when a parent gets so involved in a child's costume (I'm guessing this wasn't Moey's idea) but the kid seems to be having fun.
A door-to-door poll should be a pretty good indicator of how the public will vote, although Oct 31 is late in the game for a poll to have much impact on anything. Moey's poll is remarkably accurate.
