This is what voter suppression looks like

“There was no line where I live this year. None. I didn’t wait one second. I walked in and voted. This despicable disparity is on purpose. This is what voter suppression looks like.“ —Walter Shaub

1. Apparently he doesn't know what a stop sign means!

That is a terrible example of voter suppression though. The only way Republicans can win is that way.

Such a defeatist attitude.

4. On one hand that is horrible and your right it is voter supression.

On the other hand that many people willing to wait that long to vote reflects why GA may be in play this year. People are pissed off!

5. I hand delivered my ballot to the drop box today (Dekalb County GA)

I held on to it for a few weeks because I wasn't sure if I'd change my mind and want to vote in person. I trust my county, but I don't trust Kkkemp and the GOP.

The location I went to is HUGE and the parking was probably at or near 100% around 1pm. The outside line was pretty long. It felt good walking up and dropping my ballot into the drop box. It seemed a little too easy, so I'm nervous that maybe I messed up somehow.

7. That line is insane.

I am glad to see so many people showing up to vote, and showing up wearing masks. It's shameful they have to wait in a line that long, though.
