I guess you dont see this as a problem.. So do I stand in line for 5 hrs and risk getting fired or losing a days Pay.. or do I stand in line for 5 hrs because some party removed polling places in the hopes I dont vote
5 hrs in line is voter suppression reguardless

So we have had voter suppression for over 200 years in this country? And, BTW, Republican voters would also be standing in lines.
Counties are responsible for the number and placement of polling places in Georgia. If there are not enough places or machines, it is up to the County. "Fulton County [which includes the Atlanta metro area] is one of the most reliably Democratic counties in the entire nation." It's up to the Fulton Co. Democrats to provide enough polling places and machines. The County administration said the waiting times were a result of a glitch in the voting pads.
