The adjustments mean the Johns Creek site would close at 7:55 p.m., nearly an hour past the original 7 p.m. cutoff, while voting at Centennial High would cease at 7:35 p.m.

They got their marching orders from Fox and right wing media. Mustn't have a Democrat take that seat.

none of the early results (NYT and GA Secretary of State) indicate anything at all like that yet. Not saying it won't happen though.

Edited: I guess you're referring to the turnout in rethug counties. Let's hope some have awakened.
