#GeorgiaPrimary more than an hour wait to be told new machines aren’t working in all of Dekalb county.

No ETA for fix.
No air, people sitting on the floor.

@11AliveNews @KeishaBottoms Dekalb county Voters unable to vote due to machines not working. Provisional ballots are not being given out. Waiting since before 7 am. No air. People sitting on floors.

Scene is bleak with no hope of voting today. Please help

#GeorgiaPrimary people singing and chanting “Don’t Give Up, Hold On”

Announcement: they do not know what is going on with the entire situation. Provisional ballots not available because workers unsure how to complete.

#VoterSuppression

#GeorgiaPrimary Apparenrly 10 brand new machines, but only allowing 4 people in room at a time. Updates coming from fellow voter, not poll worker. Urged not to leave because same issues across county.
#VoterSuppression

#GeorgiaPrimary Being told same issues in Clayton County.

People have called hotline asking about extending voting hours due to delay.

Advised should be a technician at some point but no ETA.

#GeorgiaPrimary being told provisional ballots not available but if you have an absentee ballot, you can drop it.

Line is getting longer ... 1 1/2 hour wait, no movement.

Fellow voter encouraging everyone to stay

#GeorgiaPrimary Update: Workers don’t want to use provisional ballots bc paperwork. One precinct has machines up; our workers are apparently on FaceTime trying to get ours working. Fellow voter advising people of right to vote, that employers have to allow #VoterSuppression

#GeorgiaPrimary Someone has brought in a case of water!

Elementary school hallway lined on both sides. No movement but encouragement of “we are in this together”
#VoterSuppression

Officially standing in the same spot for 2 hours. I’m going to be late to work. My legs hurt.

#GeorgiaPrimary Update

FIRST VOTER HAS JUST COME OUT.
Lots of applause

Yelling updates down the hall to pass along information

Atleast 1 machine is working. At 9 am.

#VoterSuppression

#GeorgiaPrimary Update:

I have officially voted. 2 hours and 40 minutes later. Line is crazy long.

Voting in Georgia feels more like a privilege than a right. #VoterSuppression

Thank you to the encouraging people and those passing out biscuits, doughnuts and water. ❤️
