Like there is just no excuse for this, fundamentally, and that they put out a statement with this much contempt for people making an obvious comparison is absolutely nuts.
In absence of a polling station @universityofga better have county officials there every single day with absentee ballot applications and sort out the inevitable problems with students getting mail on campus.
And also I'll add that there are more than 37,000 students on UGA's campus. A crazy thought to solve issues of lines and social distancing? MORE THAN ONE POLLING PLACE.
Honestly how did "close the polling place" beat out "let's open additional polling places" in this brainstorm?
And like idk but SHUTTLES seem smaller than a whole ass polling place just saying.

Continues to baffle me that as an asthmatic person I can’t simply walk into a pharmacy and buy an inhaler
Like I just flew to a place and left my inhaler at home - something that costs nothing - and in order to get another one here I’d have to have a prescription even tho I’ve had asthma since age 5 and this isn’t going away.
You can buy a lot of things over the counter and one of them is somehow not an instrumental drug helping people breathe that has no real side effects
being able to say whatever you want without societal ramifications is - and i cannot stress this enough - not a fundamental right
people have been calling each other disrespectful names over their views since the beginning of this country. several of the founding fathers printed publications dedicated to calling each other idiots, essentially.
ruthlessly insulting each other is as American as it gets, that is just the truth. it has ever been thus.
Biden is taking the stage in Atlanta for his speech on voting — lots of activists important to this movement declined to be here today, citing their frustration that this is too little too late.
The speech Kamala Harris is giving now could have been given one year ago, with no changes. As far as I can tell.
Kamala Harris says there is a "danger" of becoming accustomed to these laws, and becoming "complicit." But let's keep in mind that the Texas legislature, and many others, have been restricting voting rights every legislative session for more than a decade.
