Voting delays, long lines bring chaos to Georgia primaries
1 / 11Election 2020 GeorgiaA person waits in line to vote in Georgia's primary election at Park Tavern on Tuesday, June 9, 2020, in Atlanta. ATLANTA — Voters endured heat, pouring rain and waits as long as five hours on Tuesday to cast ballots in Georgia, demonstrating a fierce desire to participate in the democratic process while raising questions about the emerging battleground state's ability to manage elections in November when the White House is at stake.
There was also trouble with Georgia’s new voting system that combines touchscreens with scanned paper ballots. Story continues“It’s really disheartening to see a line like this in an area with predominantly black residents,” said Shaw, a 25-year-old African American. He said he was appalled by how few voting machines were available.
Voters were also forced to wait hours to cast ballots in recent primary contests across Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. While there were no reports of machine malfunctions in other states on Tuesday, the number of voting places was dramatically reduced in virtually every state that has held in-person voting in recent weeks to accommodate a drop in poll workers.
