1st day of Georgia early voting. This is one Atlanta (Fulton County) precinct.

I talked to a dozen people near the front of the line. They’d all been waiting nearly 4 hours to vote. #GAvotes #GApol
Every voter I spoke with told me two things:

-they came prepared for long lines w/ snacks, chairs, umbrellas (some even expected the wait bc of holiday)

-they will not leave until they cast their ballot

As one woman told me: “We’re voting for our lives” #Georgia #vote
These non-partisan volunteers spent hours handing out water + snacks to people in line.

They call themselves “line warmers.”

“We just want to make people feel more comfortable participating in our democracy”

As of 11am, voters waited 5+ hours to cast ballots @ the main Cobb Co. early polling location (736 Whitlock Ave, Marietta). Some seemed unbothered by the line. “It doesn’t matter how long it takes…we’re voting like our life depends on it,“ said a voter. #gavotes @11AliveNews
This is the voter. Her name is Viola Hardy. She got in line at 6:20am. She was still in line to vote at 11:15am.
Two other Georgia voters: Jeff and Catherine Arnold waited 5.5 hours in line. They voted today because they are concerned with mail-in voting. #gavotes @11AliveNews

FULTON COUNTY is experiencing MASSIVE issues with voting today. A thread about what and why... #Gapol #GAvotes
For starters – the pandemic.
Two people who process absentee ballots/voter registration in Fulton County tested positive for COVID-19. One died just before Easter. The other was out for a month to recover. @11AliveNews
@11AliveNews The day the employee died fro COVID-19, the Fulton elections office says it received 80,000 pieces of absentee ballot mail that day. For 6-9 days, they weren’t processing applications because of COVID-19 decontamination and being out of the office. @11AliveNews
