A nice chunk of that "rare" voting fraud.

no they haven't. it has frequently been a problem since the scummy Repub. have figured out that if everyone votes they won't win.

No one is being stopped from voting. It is up to the voters, if they want a particular person to win, to vote in whatever way is available to them. If they think that voting in person is too difficult, and they don't have a disability that prevents them from doing so, then they don't think it's all that important if their candidate wins or loses.

some locations stretched more than five hours long, particularly in the Atlanta metro area.

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.

So nearly 70% of that county voted democratic last presidential election, why would they want to put more polling places in so more people can vote, you have to consider the voting history and local government, everything plays into why certain places are making it harder to vote.

I'm assuming that the heavy Democrat voting pedigree would put Democrats in charge of the county. The county is in charge of how many polling places and where their located and how many machines they have. I don't know why Democrats would want to make voting harder by not having enough polling places or machines. They did say the problem was a glitch in the voting pads. Maybe it was incompetence. Or just a temporary glitch.

Neither make it acceptable
