Mainly schools undergoing renovations during summer vacation.

Fulton County is moving 12 of its polling places to different locations a little more than three weeks out from the highly watched Sixth Congressional District runoff election because officials said they had no choice.

Most of the polls are located in Fulton County School District schools, and shortly after the April 18 primary election, school officials informed elections director Richard Barron that they needed to renovate those buildings, so they could not be polling locations for the June 20 runoff between Republican Karen Handel and Democrat Jon Ossoff.

“We found out after the April 18 election,” Barron said. “Then we had to get our board to approve it, and then it takes time to get the letters printed and get the cards ordered.”

Barron said letters to the heads of households went out Monday. They’ll also be sending out new precinct cards.

That's why republicans love this stolen election narrative loyalsister Jun 2017 #19

How does that make sense? mythology Jun 2017 #45

Thank you diva. nt LaydeeBug Jun 2017 #51

All the more reason to vote because if it is a LANDSLIDE it is harder to pull off the election theft diva77 Jun 2017 #20
