I think my point is being willfully misunderstood - shocking for this website I know. Of course it isn’t fine or normal to wait in line for 11 hours. These are isolated issues. Let’s not represent the problem to be affecting the entire state of Georgia.

Screaming that lines are incredibly common across the state of Georgia is both false and not great for voters who might vote there. Let’s not make people think they’ll be waiting in like when 99 percent of voters today in that state waited for an extremely low amount of time.
And we certainly don’t need to be basing these assertions on a few tweets from voters. We can wait for the data, then we can actually know where problems are and what caused them. Until then, striking unnecessary panic bells helps no one.
But no! It’s not fine to wait in line for 11 hours! It’s also not fine to disenfranchise more people by exaggerating the extent of the problem until we have data.
