The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:
Voting equipment wasnt working at Morris Brandon Elementary in Buckhead, forcing voters to use emergency paper ballots instead. Ryan Barrows, a poll worker at the precinct, said the scanners are locked and election workers cant get into the machines.
.
Channel 2 Action News reports that all voting machines are down because of a glitch in Spalding County, 37 miles south of Atlanta. Spalding County election officials are sending 2,000 provisional ballots to each precinct so everyone can post a paper ballot.
In Spalding County, there is no plan to extend voting hours unless they are ordered to do by a court. These issues should not be happening, but they consistently occur in Georgia through a combination of dirty tricks by Republicans and bad technology.

Paper ballots for everyone, in person, election day, early, mail in, drop off. Send it all through optical scanners and you have all the paper ballots as a backup for a hand recount too.
