1. Think this is great for procrastinators, but encourage early voting and voting by mail,

which is so easy.

5. Would love to see the Charlotte Hornets do

the same thing in my state NC since we are swing state.

6. Dallas & Houston too.

Tx gov is fighting Vote by Mail.

Voting precincts shut down in strong Dem areas & voting machines limited in number as well.
While increased in # for republucan areas.

What Atlanta Hawks just did should be forwarded to arenas in Tx & any State that supresses the availability to vote.

7. I have respect for Golden West, and the Clippers, but I just sent a fanboy tweet to ALT!

8. Ressler has spoken out against Kemp a few times

I'm not surprised that the facility will be in use for voting purposes. He and his wife are a bit all over the place with their politics but neither seem to have any love for Kemp.

10. Great!

Atlanta usually has long lines and this will allow people to wait inside. Maybe they can shoot some baskets while they wait!

11. "Massive polling station"? During a pandemic?

Maybe it’s me, but I’d be thinking long and hard about that one.
