Long voter lines in the city; no lines in the burbs. GA legislators say there must be 1 voting booth per 250 voters in a precinct. So why does the State Election Board say its OK to shortchange some precincts? sos.ga.gov/admin/files/Pr…
Under this rule, Fulton may subtract every voting booth used for early voting (200+) from what any one precinct should have. 5000 voter precinct = 20 voting booths. And deploy just 1 voting booth. Its a minimum, so legal license to create lines in some neighborhood, not in others
Tell the State Election Board that long lines = voter suppression, and you oppose this rule. Comments are due by 1/13 - send to jshannon@sos.ga.gov. @DPGChair @fairfightaction @FriendsOfCGG @jennycohn1

Happening now - Georgia State Election Board. Public comments - more than 25 signed up - will all be allowed to speak?
@HillaryHolley4 led off, sharing concerns about the lack of readiness. @ACLUofGA asked that handmarked paper ballots be available in all precincts
@MuscogeeDems warned: don't set local officials up for failure. They don't have resources or sufficient time for training.

Someone asked me a really excellent question, but honestly speaking, Lord #Gaṇeśa sitting on a mouse would seem illogical only to that person who knows nothing about the language of symbolism.
OK. Enough said. Let me ask you this: What exactly does a mouse do?
It bites and gnaws things. And when does it do that? In the night, when we all are in a sound sleep.
Now there is one more thing which does this same task. It bites and gnaws everything, without us being any aware of it, as if all in deep sleep.
What’s that thing?
It’s Kāla (
Time).
Like a mouse, moment by moment, Time bites away everything that there is. Even, as an example, our bodies are getting closer and closer to death with every new second—all glories to Time. And none of us are aware of this. It all happens without our slightest of knowledge.

It’s unlikely that Georgia’s new voting system will be ready in time for early voting in the Presidential Primary beginning Mar 2. At the Dec State Election Board meeting, the Secretary of State claimed that the transition to the Dominion Voting System is ahead of schedule.
On Oct 10, the Secretary of State said that all counties should have all equipment by Jan 15 at the latest. But on Nov 15th, Gabriel Sterling, project manager for the Secretary of State’s office said all of the new equipment will be delivered to the state by the end of Jan (GPB).
Then on Dec 11, Sterling said all 159 counties should have their voting machines by early Feb - roughly a month before advance voting starts (AP).

America’s critical election infrastructure is for sale to the largest dark money funded bidder. Thread. 1/ nybooks.com/daily/2019/12/…
“As w/ so much in American politics, following the money sheds light on the motivation of some of the election officials choosing these systems [universal use Ballot Marking Devices, which most leading experts advise against]. It makes quite an audit trail of its own.” 2/
“In 2018,...McClatchy...broke a story that ES&S ‘has for at least 9 years coaxed state and local elections officials to serve on an ‘advisory board’ that gathers twice annually for company-sponsored conferences, including one last year at a ritzy Las Vegas resort hotel.” 3/

Election integrity groups and Georgia voters want a court to make the state temporarily swap out its paperless voting machines before the election.

Late Tuesday, Georgia election officials fired back, accusing the activists of "paranoia."

My story: subscriber.politicopro.com/cybersecurity/…
In their court filing subscriber.politicopro.com/f/?id=00000165… GA Secretary of State Brian Kemp and state election board members aggressively attacked the activists and the experts they cited.
"A theoretical possibility that a voting machine somewhere might be susceptible to tampering is outweighed by the State's legitimate interest in protecting its elections from the mad scramble that would certainly ensue if the Plaintiffs' motions were granted."
