(58,785 posts)for a GE in the Atlanta area, a whole affluent black neighborhood supposed to vote where I was stationed was sent to the wrong precinct on election day, where poll workers let them stand in line for hours, only telling them one by one as they arrived to the front that they were in the wrong place. Just one of dozens and dozens of similar incidents. Poll workers where I was were entirely different, monitoring new arrivals and moving all who showed up (lots of them) to the front of what was also a very, very, very long line. Everyone was admirable for standing hours to vote, most having to call in to work, and it was an event to remember, but...as you say.
We enjoy the election day crowds in our precinct but also vote early specifically in case something goes wrong. A couple-three years ago I was kicked off the rolls for no reason.
Here in Georgia I note that once again early voting date information is confusing and incomplete, I'm sure no accident. There've been failed attempts this summer to stop Sunday voting (those notorious church buses full of election thieves of course) and to close dozens of precincts, mainly serving black areas.
