Long lines, lack of voting machines frustrate voters during Georgia's primary election
By John Bowden - 06/09/20 01:06 PM EDT


Voters in several Georgia counties experienced long lines and frustrations on Tuesday as the state held primary elections, with at least one precinct reportedly going hours without any voting machines.

State leaders voiced their concerns about irregularities in two counties, Dekalb and Gwinnett, on social media and in comments to the press while voters raised their own issues experienced at the voting booth.

"Now being told line is out to the street at Sandtown Recreation Center and their machines are not working either @gasecofstate. Is this happening across the county or just on the south end?" tweeted Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D).

"[V]oters in line at Ralph Bunche precinct, one of the largest in Atlanta, say NONE of the machines are working," she added in another tweet.

6. AHA! The catch. Many of my friends/neighbors requested absentee ballots which were NOT

delivered. Mine was, thankfully.

7. Got mine, and would have requested another had I not.

But, I get things get screwed up.

We just can’t let November slip away.

4. Has Trump screwed himself by pushing Repubs away from mail in votes?

I saw a guy on you tube claim Trump has screwed up by driving repubs Away from mail in voting. And since voting in person is a pain and risky that may suppress the Republican vote.

5. Hang in there people. Vote by mail wasn't terrific either. Just didn't require I stand in line

all day to turn in a ballot they'll almost certainly disqualify after seeing I voted straight democratic ticket, left any non-partisan (actual Republican candidates) blank!
