Good morning from Georgia - and the 1st day of early voting 🗳

This is the line at the Cobb County Elections Main Office.

Several voters near the front told me they arrived before doors opened and have been waiting nearly 2 hours.

#GAsen #GApol ImageImageImage MORE from Marietta: during 1st day of early voting for the general election, some people waited as long as 10 hours at this location.

That was a sunny (hot) day in GA.

Today, it’s rained throughout the AM, temps in the 40s and getting colder.

NEWS: the Trump campaign has officially filed a petition for a recount in Georgia. MORE: the campaign is legally entitled to request one, but a few notes:

Before certifying, Georgia did an audit (state law required) which amounted to hand recount of all 5million ballots.

GA officials hoped "common sense would prevail," satisfy everyone results are valid (1/2)

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
