You only see these long lines in Blacklanta, where state law eliminated most dropboxes.
The official wait times in white rural counties and suburbs was 10 minutes or at most half an hour.

The people we spoke to in #Atlanta told us that the lines have tripled, not because of higher voting but because it was a practical impossibility under the new law to mail in your ballot. #SB202 gregpalast.com/raphael-warnoc…
From the 2020/2021 elections to November 2022, mail-in ballots in #Georgia plummeted by over 1 million, a breathtaking 81% loss of ballots — concentrated in Black-majority urban counties. gregpalast.com/mail-in-ballot…
The cause of this drop-off? #SB202 limits dropboxes to no more than 1 per 100,000 active voters. This limit affects ONLY the 4 large Greater Atlanta (59.7% non-white) counties. The law shuttered 77% of Atlanta-area dropboxes, declining from 107 to 25. gregpalast.com/justice-dept-t…
At the same time, small rural counties were required to ADD at least one dropbox. The result: a big reduction in dropboxes in urban non-white counties to 55,862 voters per dropbox. In the remainder of Georgia, 65% white, only 18,000 voters must share a dropbox, a 314% difference.
