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”

#Georgia #Vote
