Some people will leave or never come when they see these lines. The answer is not to make people proud to stand in line for four hours to vote, the answer is to force the government to open more polling places. This is Republican voter suppression in action.
That is true. Voter suppression by anyone is treason and a slap in the face of all who sacrificed for our democracy. If ever there was a need for The Second Amendment solution this is it.
Some people will leave or never come when they see these lines.
Some will. But you know what? Personally speaking, I don't care how long the lines are. I will do whatever it takes to vote Trump out of office. Early voting starts tomorrow here in Irving. For the first time in a long time I feel like my vote really will count. I can't wait for this ridiculous man and his entire family to get the hell out of my White House.
That's how life is in a repub controlled state. I voted in the comfort of my own living room here in CA. This year I've opted to deliver it to the box at my county elections office myself.
So how is the in person voting going in California? Any lines? Will there be as we get closer? And good for you delivering it. That will make sure it gets there and counted. Only thing I can see is that as far as the POTUS race, I will be negating your vote.
It's been a while since I've voted in person but for my entire life, and I'm 62 now, I've never had to wait more than 5 or 10 minutes. If a state wants people to vote they can get it done. It's not that hard. Georgia doesn't want these people to vote. That's obvious. Nobody is that incompetent.
No one should have to wait four hours to vote and we shouldnt act like it is a good thing. Some people will leave the line or never go. They need to open more polling places and /or get more voting machines immediately.
I agree and many people are waiting a lot longer than 4 hours. GA had a fiasco in the last election and don't seem to have a handle on in-person voting.
The lines were long at many of the voting centers, not just the one mentioned in the article. GA. broke all records for early voting. At last count 126,000 votes were cast. That is a good thing as it shows a lot of engagement from voters.
Fuck Trump.
People of Georgia, dont put up with this shit. This is America.
"These people and a thousand times more should be in the streets tonight saying they are sick of this shit and are not going to take it anymore."
John, I could not open your video, so if this is the same, I'll ask Perrie to delete it.
Proud of those people.
I served nearly 16 months in Vietnam----I can surely and proudly stand in line for hours if necessary to have my voice heard.
VOTE!

Australia has the right idea - voting is MANDATORY, and a fine is imposed if you DON'T vote, unless you have a lawful excuse.
Now we know why more people than ever want to vote by mail.
I counted 174 people waiting in a single file line to get into that polling place and vote.
It appears that they were social distancing, so they must be Democrats.
I thought you lived in Chicago.
It looks the same as 2016.
The election board in that state should be ashamed of itself.
They are shameless.

Lol
and someone else will negate yours
and so on and so forth until there is an imbalance.

Exactly.
The long lines were at most voting centers. People were still in line at 10 PM tonight. The number of early voters broke all records in GA.

Brian Williams on MSNBC just said that some people in Georgia waited in line for 11 hours to cast their vote today.
Ummmmm was yesterday the only day to early vote? There are plenty more opportunities as I see it.
And thus. the lines.
Today was the first day for in person early voting in Texas and both places near me were creating traffic jams on our way to the doctors.
Don't get old Jim, you will find that your doctor quickly becomes one of your most frequently visited friends.
lmao
Such drama!
They've only got three more weeks to vote
Voter suppression is a left wing myth.
It looks like the Georgia officials could fuck up a one car funeral.

Really? Then your boy Trump is going to be really upset. It's his only chance.
We cannot be anything other than totally impressed and proud of these wonderful American patriots. The peoples' voice will be heard.

I have voted in France for forty years. I have never waited more than five minutes.
Voting is on Sunday.
Voting is for at most three offices - usually just one. (No voting for cops or judges or dog-catchers...)
If American elections are fucked up, it's because Americans are satisfied with fucked-up elections.
Duh...
How true Bob, the requirements for Atty General in TX are that he/she be 18 and have lived in the district they vote in for at least 12 months.
They need not be a practicing Attorney or a Judge.
And they appointed, then elected a guy indicted 3 times for securities fraud in 2014....still being investigated
and they say there's no good ole boy club at the top of TX politics
A job like Atty Gen should be "appointed with the advice and consent"... That wouldn't stop cronyism, but it would be much more up-front.
Paxton was hand picked by Abbott when Abbot became governor
Can't make this stuff up.
State politics are often... more or less like Texas...
