"n-person early voting began in Georgia on Monday and, by the numbers, it’s off to an incredible start. On the first day alone, 69,049 people voted—a massive increase compared to the 20,898 people who participated in the first day of in-person early voting during the last midterm election in 2014. Though more people voting is always a good thing, it has not been without problems. As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, “some early voters in Cobb County had to wait in lines for more than two hours, and others in Fulton County encountered delays because of technical difficulties.”

Unfortunately, today doesn’t look any better, as lines reached a 3 hour estimated wait in Cobb County. "

1. one wonders how much of this is because some politicians implement klan policies nt

2. Cobb County has traditionally been solidly, rabidly rePuke. A 3-hour wait is

good for them. Gives them time to reflect on their sins.

(No offense intended to the good people who live in Cobb County, who include about half of my relatives.)

4. I voted today in Georgia 6 at the Dunwoody library.

There weren't any lines, but all the machines were occupied.

5. Long lines where I voted today in decidedly red county, but only one

polling place open with no more than 10 voting booths.

Still was good turnout, but who knows which way vote went.

6. I voted yesterday in Dekalb around 2pm

My strategy worked out because I was in and out. There was a steady stream of voters coming in and out, but there were no long lines or delays. I know everyone doesn't have the luxury of choosing various locations and/or early afternoon times. Really sucks. Early voting is supposed to be convenient!

Also, anyone who early votes should make sure to go to their voter page and click the link that says "Click here for Absentee Ballot status" and make sure it shows your date of voting and "Status: Accepted."
