Election officials scurried to fix the disparities. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, recruited 10,000 voters to work the polls. The state also commissioned buses stocked with voting machines, which allowed for drive-up voting around Fulton County and opened the 680,000-square-foot State Farm Arena with an additional 300 machines.
And now, as the state begins its last week of early voting, lines at the polls are moving much faster.

(19,956 posts)to see someone like him be vindictive. Might also have something to do with the work Stacy Abrams and Fair Fight playing them at their own game, although he's up in 2022 again so i don't expect the Damascene conversion to last that long !!!

(7,403 posts)That Georgia wrongly purged 200,000 registered voters. That would have been the SOS doing that so what is the matter, didn't he kiss their a$$ enough? Disclaimer: I don't know the validity of the claim. If valid, Democrats need to push to have the names added back before the runoff elections.

(1,018 posts)The Friday before early voting. There was actually a ruling to get rid of the things, but it would have been too late to run Early Voting so the judge let it slide and an appeal would have tied things up. The machines failed a verification and auditsomething to do with voter rolls so the judge told them to have manual back ups. Maybe that ruined the SoSs plan?
