THIS is the REAL voter 'fraud.'

(28,270 posts)The damned GOP is really desperate to stop dems taking over Georgia!

(102,793 posts)Glad I live in Montana. I voted weeks ago and know that most of the voters are serious about their representation, especially this time around. We just don't look as engaged as we are because of a small population.

(28,270 posts)The GOP creep in the running accused the democratic party of 'hacking' the election process already, with zero proof of course!

(102,793 posts)I've been pretty much glued to the news for the last two years waiting for something to sink this regime. I didn't think I could hold on this long but now, I can't avert my gaze for more than an hour or two right now, and probably until the next swearing in if not the rest of my life.

(54,770 posts)legitimate reasons. In fact, I think the Library polling place was just for early voting. But don't know for sure. It is so easy to check your polling place today on-line and in that area, most people have access to phones and computers. Democratic offices will get you a ride if needed.

(29,369 posts)As per FL news, no link.
Nothing illegal or sketchy, and as you said, a Dem-heavy area, including election officials.
Ubera nd Lyft are also giving free rides.

(781 posts)I was puzzled as well because, as mentioned, Fulton County is heavily Democratic.

(58,785 posts)I don't think Election Protection has used amateur volunteers at the polls here in a long time, but I was with them a long time ago, and both elections, but especially 2008, their attorneys were run off their feet trying to deal with everything. One of my locations had a neighborhood of affluent black voters sent to the wrong place.

(16,296 posts)Went to the Early voting building on election day and had to find my designated voting place - a local school. I learned my lesson that day about Early voting and where I should vote on election day. Nothing sinister about that.

(53,214 posts)they pull crap like this. Just imagine if Democrats did this sort of thing. We'd never hear the end of it.

(13,305 posts)..which is why they do.
Republicans are like the older sibling who constantly taunts and antagonizes the younger sibling, knowing he/she won't retaliate in kind.
